Chapter 218: Pilot

I was busy for two days in Gaoshanping and had other things......

Level the fodder feeding points in the reservoir and plant grass in overgrown orchards.

The melons in the melon field ushered in another batch of ripeness.

The weather is hot, and the melons and fruits ripen quickly.

Ye Mo got up early in the morning and first went to see the super big watermelon in the greenhouse, this big watermelon stopped growing at the beginning of the month, and by now, it has also matured.

Ye Mo dialed Zhang Yuanqiao's phone: "Hey, Boss Zhang." ”

"Huh?"

"The watermelon is ripe, when you have time, come and pick it." Ye Mo said.

"I'll put it on later."

"Wait for you. I'm picking melons here, and I'm coming to eat them. ”

"Okay."

Of the 80 large watermelons in the greenhouse, 20 watermelons have not been grafted, and they are still growing very well...... Looking at the size of the watermelon, it is basically about 200 pounds.

The remaining watermelons, 40 are grafted with gourds. 10 with winter melon and 10 with pumpkin......

The vines grafted with winter melon grow the largest. There are a few of them, and it is estimated that they may be close to 300 pounds. It looks very large, but the shape of the watermelon is not as beautiful as the gourd grafted.

And the pumpkin grafted is relatively round, although it is also very large, but it is ...... It's not as beautiful as the gourd grafting.

The most beautiful melon shape is the 20 watermelons that have not been grafted. The gourd grafted out is also very beautiful.

In the future, if you plant this variety in large quantities, you can directly plant watermelon seeds in the field without grafting, and look at the growth, which is also very good. Without grafting, a lot of work can be saved. Suitable for large-scale planting......

Gao Yuan and Li Xuebin have been notified yesterday.

Gao Yuan came over early in the morning, and when he saw Ye Mo in the greenhouse, he walked over: "The big watermelon is very beautiful." ”

"Hmm." Ye Mo nodded with a smile and caught the cigarette handed by Gao Yuan.

"Have you ever considered growing these watermelons on a large scale?" Gao Yuan said.

"Yes. Next year, depending on the situation...... Dozens of acres of large watermelons are planted. However, the area is large, and the watermelon will definitely not grow so big. These watermelons are specially bred ......"

"If each person can have forty or fifty pounds, it's not bad." High and far-reaching.

Ye Mo shrugged his shoulders and said, "Leave some seeds for the watermelons here to plant for the villagers under the mountain next year." When the time comes, you can help sell it. ”

"No problem."

Ye Mo's father, they are here.

Ye Mo told Gao Yuan about the development of ecological agriculture in Hongshan Town, as well as the label of muskmelon......

The cart of melons sent out by Gao Yuan yesterday was not labeled: "Label, just stick." ”

Li Xuebin also came over and brought a lot of labels.

The three most eye-catching big characters in the middle of the label are 'Hongshan Town', and behind the big red characters are 'Gaoshanping Orchard'. There is also a row of small characters on the top, which is Yancheng County, Huacheng City...... The introduction of the product is placed at the bottom, 'Emerald Melon'.

The contact number is the customer service number of Li Xuebin and his company.

There are two kinds of labels, the other label is prepared for Gao Yuan, and the contact number on it is the phone number of Gao Yuan's company.

Regarding the label, Li Xuebin also asked Gao Yuan and Ye Mo.

Ye Mo doesn't have customer service here, and it's not good to put his personal phone number on it.

Today, there are more ripe melons, and baskets of melons are transported.

Li Xuebin: They helped label the pergola, and it was past nine o'clock...... Chen Shan came over, as well as the mayor of their town, senior officials of the town, and Wang Hong, director of the Rural Revitalization Office.

Everyone is curious about what a melon that can be sold for dozens of yuan and 1 catty looks like.

Before entering the pergola, the group smelled the unique sweet smell of melon.

The smell is not strong, but it is very clear and very pleasant. The sweet smell of the melon also attracts bees to flutter around the melon shed......

"Brother Chen, Mayor Zhao." Li Xuebin shouted.

"Hey......" Zhao Hai said with a smile: "So early, I started picking." ”

"The early bird gets the bugs. If I come late, these melons will be taken away by this high boss. Li Xuebin introduced them with a smile: "This is Boss Gao." Boss Gao...... This is Mayor Zhao, and Chen Shan, the deputy head of Changzhu Village, and my eldest brother. ”

"Mayor Zhao is good, Brother Chen is good." Gao Yuan stood up and handed cigarettes to several people.

"Let me introduce to you, this is Lao Luo, Luo Chengwen, our senior official in Hongshan Town."

"Secretary Luo is a good ......"

"Ye Mo." Li Xuebin shouted with a smile and said, "Secretary Luo is here, you come over quickly, and let Secretary Luo guide you in your work." ”

"I know what to do, just come and visit." Luo Chengwen was speechless.

Zhao Hai laughed and said, "Boss Li likes to joke. ”

"Just kidding......" Mr. Li said.

"You day by day, don't joke." Chen Shan said: "There are so many people, you are shouting here. ”

"Sorry, sorry......"

"I don't dare to say that I will direct the work." Secretary Luo also laughed: "Such a large watermelon field, melon field...... How much output can there be? ”

"The output value, the final output value is still?"

"Just the income of the melon farmer?"

Ye Mo walked over and heard Li Xuebin say: "Boss Ye is not a serious melon farmer, the watermelons and melons on his side are ...... Add it up, and it's estimated that the output value is several million. Li Xuebin just said that it was inconvenient for him to answer these questions.

"I'm not a serious melon farmer." Ye Mo glanced at Li Xuebin.

"Serious ......"

Ye Mo opened a few melons and gave them to everyone to taste.

These melons are really sweet and fragrant.

The flesh is half crispy, half soft and tender, and the saccharification in the melon pulp has a strong fragrance.

I heard them say that the melons here can be sold for dozens of yuan and 1 catty, and they still don't believe it, but after tasting and asking, they ...... for this price I don't think it's an exaggeration.

"Are these muskmelons a common variety?" Secretary Luo asked.

"It's the preferred variety that I bought." Ye Mo said.

"If other farmers come to grow it, can it have such good quality?"

"Well, it's hard to say." Ye Mo thought for a while and said, "The management of these melons is particularly troublesome. If you are an average farmer, I recommend growing watermelons. Growing watermelons is relatively simple and ...... Watermelons are more productive. Muskmelon, if it is not particularly good to grow, the price is relatively average, not much more expensive than watermelon. Growing watermelons and muskmelons is quite troublesome......"

"There is no work in the field that is not troublesome." Secretary Luo said.

Chen Shan said to Ye Mo: "Our production team has abandoned a lot of land. After that, I want to sort out the abandoned land and try to grow a batch of watermelons or melons next year...... When the time comes, you can give me guidance. ”

Ye Mo nodded: "No problem." I'm still trying to keep my own seeds, last year's big watermelon seeds, I gave them some, wait for those watermelons to come out and see, if the yield is good, I can provide some watermelon seeds next year. ”

"Hmm." Chen Shan said with a smile: "We can use our village as a pilot, and after we have experience, we will promote it." ”

Ye Mo does not recommend planting melons, that is because Ye Mo does not have melon seeds in his hands.

These emerald melons are hybrids, and there have been many melons before, and the seeds in the melon pulp are ...... Most of them are empty shell seeds and tender seeds. Although you can also take some seeds, it is a hybrid melon after all......

Hybrid melon seeds? This seems to be no different from hybrid rice seeding......

Hybrid rice is left to grow, and the next year it is unevenly planted.

Ye Mo didn't study agriculture professionally and didn't understand genetics. But it is also known that hybrids, the seeds left are not good.
