Li Lei's emphasis on watermelon seeds has far exceeded the watermelon itself. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Watermelon seeds are directly related to the future planting area and system upgrading, and their importance is self-evident.
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone naturally nodded their heads in agreement.
Three yuan a pound of watermelon, and it is eaten for nothing, isn't it just to pay more attention and try not to waste watermelon seeds? It's so simple.
"Huh, so many people?"
At this moment, eight people came in from outside the door again, and the leaders were Liu Jun and Wang Jiahai, the deputy mayors, and behind the two were undoubtedly the village chiefs of the nearby villages.
"Mayor Liu, please come in."
Li Lei stepped forward and shook hands with Liu Jun.
"Li Lei, since I received your call, I have been looking forward to it all night. No sooner had the meeting ended, and I came running with someone. ā
Liu Jun looked at Li Lei and looked quite polite.
If it was before, he would probably only regard Li Lei as an agricultural expert, but now, he is the nephew of County Magistrate Huo!
"The watermelon has just rived, and the main purpose is to keep the seeds, there is no way, I can't eat it myself, so I have to invite everyone to come." Li Lei smiled, "Who are these people?" ā
"Village Chief Li of Nanli Village, Village Chief Xue of Sixteen Lipu ,......, the purpose of their coming, you can guess without me saying it. This year, the watermelons in the four villages of Dingliu Village have been harvested, and the quality and sales are good. Since they are all villages in our Qingyang Township, I can't favor one over the other, so I specially brought them over. ā
Liu Jun said with a smile: "This time, I will meet you and learn from you." Second, it is also to try new varieties of watermelon. In the past, I plan to promote greenhouse cultivation in the whole township, just using the seeds you have cultivated here. ā
After Liu Jun finished speaking, several village chiefs nodded and shook hands with Li Lei politely.
Li Lei's fame has long spread in several nearby villages. Agricultural technical expert, proficient in the control of various crop diseases and pests, can be called the first person in the township.
"Ladies and gentlemen, you are not outsiders, just sit down. Niu Zhan, take some out of the house and let Mayor Liu and the village chiefs taste it. ā
Of the people present, probably only Niu Zhan had no interest in fruits.
In his diet, except for barbecue, it is barbecue, and he definitely does not think twice.
A few more watermelons were brought out, those with seats sitting, those without seats standing, and those who were not particular about simply sitting on the ground.
Although it is the hottest season of the year, staying under the fairy tree house not only does not feel the slightest heat, but rather a cool feeling.
"This? It's much better than the selenium-rich watermelon we grow. ā
"Hey, people are more popular than people, and Gubi Gua has to be thrown. Li Lei, this breed you cultivated, I dare to say, is definitely this. The head of Dingliu Village gave a thumbs up and was amazed.
Mayor Liu sighed, "In the past, this batch of watermelons must be used in villages that want to develop watermelon cultivation in the town. Other varieties, whoever grows it is an idiot, and they can't get along with money. ā
"Yes, yes."
ā¦ā¦
During the more than two-hour tasting meeting, more than 50 people were stunned to eat more than 200 catties, with an average of about 4 catties per person.
When they came, their hands were empty, and their steps were vigorous; When walking, holding her stomach, carrying a convenience bag, she staggered, like a pregnant woman.
Seeing off the last guest, Li Lei looked at Ai Li, "How was the harvest?" ā
"After selling a thousand catties, eight other people opened a restaurant, and decided to use our watermelon here as a post-dinner plate. From tomorrow, order a hundred catties a day. There are also three people who open fruit shops and hope to buy goods from us. Ellie looked down at her notebook, a serious word.
"The rules for buying melons, tell them that there are none?"
"The wholesale price is three yuan, one pound of melon seeds for two pounds of watermelon, and if there are more seeds recycled, the price of watermelon will drop to two yuan. If they don't want to change, they are allowed to grow their own. ā
"That's good. Our watermelons can't be sold on the street like everyone else, otherwise it will be difficult to recycle the seeds. Put it in friends and hotels, they naturally know how to do it. ā
Li Lei breathed a sigh of relief, "But you can't completely count on them, this time I planted twenty acres, set aside five acres, and then pick them when they are fully mature, and keep them alone." ā
One acre of watermelon land, according to the planting gap, variety, water and soil and other differences, the yield per mu is about 5,000 catties to 8,000 catties, and 20 acres of land is 100,000 catties to 160,000 catties.
Li Lei uses a three-variety mixed planting, which contains systematic high-yield varieties, and there is no problem with a yield of more than 10,000 catties per mu.
More than 200,000 catties of watermelons, if there is no procedure to recycle seeds, it is basically certain that they will be sold out in a few days.
Now is the season when watermelons are on the market in large quantities, and the retail price of ordinary varieties of watermelons is only six cents, and the wholesale price of better watermelons is only eight cents.
Selenium-rich watermelon, the retail price is about five per piece, but compared with Li Lei's price, it is still not at the same level.
If it weren't for Li Lei's purpose to recycle watermelon seeds, even if it was five yuan a catty, it would probably be in short supply.
Even so, this season, it is still easy to earn four or five hundred thousand.
The effect of the tasting meeting seemed to exceed Li Lei's expectations, and even caught him off guard.
From the next day, people began to come to the door one after another, and most of these people were introduced by friends and spread by word of mouth. They had heard Li Lei's strange request from their friends a long time ago, so they naturally would not refuse.
In the next few days, there was an endless stream of customers who came directly to buy it, at least twenty or thirty catties per person. The farm is just like that, and the ripening speed of watermelons has not been able to keep up with the speed of sale.
"Sorry, I don't have it today."
Li Lei stood in front of the courtyard gate and said to a middle-aged man who drove an Audi.
"None? Don't bluff me, I just went around the fields, and there are many more! ā
The middle-aged man was somewhat dissatisfied, he invited a friend to dinner today, and the plate after the meal happened to be a miracle watermelon. That taste, that feeling, really lingers on the lips and teeth, and it will be unforgettable for a long time.
No, as soon as he saw off his friend, he immediately found the owner of the hotel, and immediately rushed over after asking for clarification.
Li Lei spread his hands and said: "The ones in the field are not ripe yet, and you can't eat them if you buy them." Otherwise, you leave the phone, and tomorrow there is a ripe watermelon, and I will call you. ā
"Okay. Reserve a hundred pounds for me first. The middle-aged man did not hesitate and hurriedly said.
"When buying watermelons from me, there is a rule that must be made clear."
Li Lei raised his eyebrows and said slowly: "This is the watermelon I am going to keep planting, so after eating the watermelon, remember to send the watermelon seeds back, and give you a discount at that time." ā
He has said this sentence many times, and he is familiar with it.
The middle-aged man froze: "Are you kidding?" Who sells watermelons and has to send watermelon seeds back? I'm too busy to do this. ā
"The first time I bought it, of course it doesn't matter if I give it away or not. If you want to eat it a second time, then I'm sorry. According to the weight of the watermelon, the number of melon seeds corresponds, how much you send back, how much I sell you. In other words, for every one or two seeds you send back, I will sell you three catties of watermelons. If you don't have one or two, hehe, you won't sell a pound. ā
Li Lei is categorical and negotiable.
When the words fell, the middle-aged man's mouth opened wide, completely confused.
