Ye Mo called his uncle and father, and they came over to help.

Chen Chen and the others also put down their work and ran over to see the strangeness.

There are two particularly large watermelons inside, which are significantly larger than the others.

Father Ye, the second uncle, the third uncle, and the eldest aunt worked together to lift the watermelon onto the scale.

One of them is 303 pounds, just over 300 pounds.

Zhang Yuanqiao is in pain and happy.

That is, just over the threshold of 300 catties, you have to pay an extra 50,000 yuan.

The other one looks about the same size, but it is only 2987 pounds. is only 1 catty and 3 taels, and it will cost 50,000 yuan less.

Zhang Yuanqiao patted his chest and thought: No loss, no loss......

230 pounds of watermelons, 27 pcs. 20,000 yuan each, 540,000 yuan.

Watermelons under 260 pounds, 33 pieces. 30,000 yuan each, 990,000 yuan.

17 watermelons under 300 pounds. 50,000 yuan each, 850,000 yuan.

More than 300 pounds of watermelon, 1 pc. 100,000 yuan each......

The total should be 2.48 million yuan.

However, there are some watermelons in it, and Ye Mo thinks it is hollow.

Obviously, it looks big, but the corresponding weight is not right.

Instead of loading them directly into the truck, they were sent to the reservoir to get them into the water.

A solid watermelon will float on the surface of the water, but only a little bit of the surface of the water will be exposed.

Through flotation, Ye Mo judged that 16 watermelons were hollow, and 11 of them were watermelons with winter melon seedlings selected as rootstocks. There are 4 pumpkin seedlings to make rootstocks...... There is also 1 gourd seedling to make rootstock.

Ye Mo opened one, 223 catties, and the surface part was obviously a little bit more than the others.

After opening, in the center of the watermelon, there was indeed a cross gap. There are not many hollow ones......

The melon pulp is not bad, and the sweetness is quite high.

"This watermelon is hollow, so the other 15 must also be hollow." Ye Mo said.

"It's a pity."

16 hollows, fortunately the two largest melons are not hollow.

But the melons under 300 catties are hollow 8.

Of the melons under 260 catties, 8 are empty. That's 720,000 yuan......

Tang Sui's house, after installation, it cost so much, which is equivalent to a house.

The remaining 15 melons, which Ye Mo wanted to destroy, were stopped by Li Xuebin and Zhang Yuanqiao.

"Such a big watermelon, even if it is hollow, it has value. If you don't want it, give it to us. Li Xuebin said.

"Boss Li, you're not authentic, these are obviously watermelons I ordered. Even if it's hollow, it belongs to me. Zhang Yuanqiao said.

Li Xuebin smiled: "You don't want so much, give me a few." ”

Ye Mo hesitated for a moment and said, "I have to label these watermelons as hollow, and I can only make exhibits." ”

"Yes." Zhang Yuanqiao nodded: "These watermelons of mine are all for activities, and they have to be opened on the spot." If you open it, it's hollow, not smash your own sign. ”

This year's super large watermelon could have been sold for 2.48 million yuan, but because of the hollow, only 1.76 million yuan was earned.

Compared with 1.76 million yuan and 2.48 million yuan, there is still some gap.

Staying at Zhang Yuanqiao for lunch, everyone went back to rest, Ye Mo stopped Xiao Mian Da Xian: "Da Xian, I received an order for a big watermelon here." Now go buy watermelons to plant fish fry, it's a little too late in time, can you give me some seedlings over there. ”

"Okay, how much?"

"800 plants." Ye Mo said.

"That's a lot." Xiao Mian still nodded, there were about 2,200 seedlings on her side, 800 were relinquished, and 1,400 were left.

Besides, these seeds were all sent by Ye Mo...... Ye Mo opened his mouth, and it was not good not to give it.

"My order now only costs 400 watermelons. I came back with 800 seedlings to grow more seeds for next year. Ye Mo continued: "In addition, the price of watermelons above 100 catties is 10 yuan and 1 catty. You've got 4 acres of land over there, right? ”

"Hmm." Da Xian nodded.

"For the rest of the seedlings, spread out and planted. 350 plants per mu is good, and when the melon vine begins to grow and the watermelon expands, I will configure some trace element water-soluble fertilizer for you, so that the watermelon can grow as much as possible. After the watermelon was ripe, I asked Boss Li and Boss Gao to help sell it, between 100 catties and 150 catties, and the price per catty could reach at least 5 yuan. 150 catties to 200 catties, the average price can reach 10 yuan. If it is more than 200 catties, the price per catty can reach more than 15 yuan. Ye Mo said.

If there is a lot of quantity, the price will definitely be cheap. Ye Mo didn't dare to say too much to them......

The 400 large watermelons he received were required to be more than 200 catties each. The price starts at 20 yuan per catty, and if it happens to be 200 catties, then it is 20 yuan per catty. If it is 217 catties, it is 217 yuan per catty...... 231 catties is 231 yuan 1 catty.

If it is more than 270 pounds, it is calculated separately.

It's still pretty good. 400 watermelons, at least 1.6 million yuan.

Summer is about to begin, and the summer temperature is high and there is a lot of rain, so it doesn't take much effort to grow these large watermelons. So, this order can be taken. Anyway, in the later time, Ye Mo's main energy is still the melon field, a few hundred more, which is a matter of the way.

The price that Ye Mo said to Xiao Mian Da Xian was already a relatively low price, and it would definitely be sold.

Xiaomian Daxiao also nodded happily: "Okay, we will manage those watermelons carefully this year." ”

"How to manage it, you can also tell us more." Aunt Xiaomian was also listening to the side and said.

Ye Mo nodded: "When the watermelon is planted, I will tell you how to manage it...... In addition, the cultivation of large watermelons is a secret, so you can't tell anyone else. Large watermelons, small quantities, can be sold at a high price. If the quantity is too much, it may be cheaper than the watermelon of twenty or thirty catties. ”

"We know." The eldest aunt said: "Watermelon seedlings can be planted in two days." ”

"Good. By the way, how much organic fertilizer do you prepare? ”

"Part of the organic fertilizer has been given. There are 4 tons left. ”

"4 tons of organic fertilizer is not enough, if you want to specialize in cultivating super large watermelons, organic fertilizer must have enough materials. Let's buy another 6 tons. I'm also going to buy organic fertilizer and help you ship it back by the way. ”

The two nodded.

These watermelons, if they grow them themselves, are not sure that they can grow to 100 catties.

But if there is Ye Mo's guidance, it will definitely work. He has grown 300 catties of watermelons.

If it's just forty or fifty catties of watermelon, it can be sold for 1 yuan per catty, which is good. But when it comes to 100 catties, the price increases fivefold......

If there are 1,000 large watermelons of 100 catties, each 500 yuan, 1,000 is 500,000 yuan.

Watching Da Xian and them leave, Lin Xiaomian walked over: "What are you talking to Da Xian and them?" ”

"Boss Li's customer needs a batch of big watermelons." Ye Mo said: "I asked Da Xian for 800 melon seedlings. ”

"Oh." Lin Xiaomian nodded: "Big watermelon order, can you give some to them." ”

"I was able to grow a super large watermelon using a nutrient solution that I made myself." Ye Mo said: "When I make a nutrient solution, I will send some to them, and strive for their watermelons to grow to more than 100 catties." Ye Mo smiled and pinched Lin Xiaomian's face, and said, "There are only 400 customers on Mr. Li's side, and they are more than 200 catties." Make nutrient solution for them, and there is no big problem with those watermelons growing to more than 100 catties. When the time comes, I can let Mr. Li and them help with sales......"

Lin Xiaomian smiled and nodded: "Thank you." ”

"Say what. It's time to go upstairs to rest, and I have to pick melons in the afternoon. Ye Mo said, called the fertilizer dealer and ordered 30 tons of organic fertilizer and 1,000 catties of urea. Urea, nitrogen fertilizer...... It is the most common fertilizer. There are also some potash fertilizers and phosphate fertilizers.

Afternoon.

Uncle and Dad continued to pick melons.

Ye Mo turned on the excavator, found a flat place in the durian forest, and turned the soil out......

After three o'clock in the afternoon, the fertilizer was delivered, and the organic fertilizer was applied to the soil first, and the whole area was applied. Then a large amount of organic fertilizer is applied around the planting point of the melon seedlings......
