Chapter 6 Picking the Melon

After a small gathering with friends, Liu Yunxuan and Zhao Yan returned to Kuoshan Village the next day. When they came back, they were all Liu Yunxuan driving.

There is no way. Zhao Yan drank a little too much yesterday, and he is still a little confused.

Fangfang looked at the mohua and buns brought back by the big guy, and her glasses were all filled with a slit. Fangfang liked to eat the mohua and buns from Tianjin.

I briefly explained to my parents that the watermelon had already found a seller and came to pick up the goods a few days later.

Zhao Yan wanted to go back to the county to see his wife.

Liu Yunxuan took Xiao Fangfang to Guadi with a pickup truck.

Before the car could stop, he heard the noise and jumped around the car door.

"How are you doing? Have you sold the watermelon?" Liu Yunhai also walked out of the shack and asked when he heard the sound of the car.

"Sold it, 7 yuan per pound."

"In a while, you can contact your county's transportation friends. The picking melons on the 21st will be sent to Jintian. If you talk to them about the shipping fee, it doesn't matter if it's a little higher."

Liu Yunxuan explained.

"I really sold it for 7 yuan per pound. Isn't this a dream?" Liu Yunhai said and pinched his thigh. He really didn't expect that watermelon could be sold so expensively.

"Come and order the car quickly and find those who drive steadily," Liu Yunxuan reminded again.

"Okay, I'll call now." Liu Yunhai said and took out his cell phone.

"Hey, third brother, are you running around now?"

"I didn't run away, I didn't have much work? That's pretty good."

"Not you, don't worry, I have a job here. On the 21st, I will bring more straw mats to Jintian, and add 100 yuan per ton of freight."

"By the way, look at how many big cars are idle at the goods station. I need at least 10 cars. Please call me all of them and come over to load the melons at that time."

"Don't you know my family? Let's drive to the intersection of Line 102 and our village first. Call me then and I'll pick you up."

"Okay, that's it, see you then."

"It's OK, brother, there's nothing to do now. The cars are lying on the cargo station. Come here in the morning when picking melons."

"You can watch here first. I'll go find Li Yong, and I need to find more people."

Liu Yunxuan drove to find Li Yong again, and this time he needed more labor. Fangfang stayed here to tease rhubarb and chestnuts to play.

"Brother Yong, are you at home?" Liu Yunxuan shouted outside Li Yong's house.

"Here, Xuanzi, is there life again?" Li Yong hurried out of the house when he heard Liu Yunxuan's shouting.

"There is a living, and there are many people who need it, and it takes about 40 people, and two large three-wheelers."

"Everyone has to be a strong laborer. Picking watermelons is very heavy. The old rules are 100 yuan in labor, and the meal is taken care of at night. Cars are packed with oil, and the money is calculated separately."

"It means living fine, and the melon seedlings must be cut out together." Liu Yunxuan said some requests.

"Don't worry, the whole lot has been shoveled all over the place. Now it's relatively idle. When will the construction start?"

"On the morning of the 21st, you should take people directly to the field. The car will start work when it arrives. You should contact me first, and I have to see if Cook Wang is at home."

People in the village rarely go to restaurants for weddings and weddings. They usually find chefs in the village to save money and trouble.

Cook Wang specializes in this business, bringing his own kitchen utensils, tables, chairs, bowls and chopsticks. The owner doesn’t have to worry about the materials provided by the owner.

"Yo, Xiaoxuan, you are a rare guest." Seeing Liu Yunxuan coming to the door, Cook Wang said.

"I really have to trouble you. I have to open five tables of seats on the night of the 21st. Isn't that the thought of you?" Liu Yunxuan explained his purpose.

"Okay, a small matter, what standard do you plan to do?" asked Cook Wang.

"It's not counting about 300 yuan in wine, it's all from the villagers. At that time, there is no need to have too many dishes, just as much meat is more affordable."

Liu Yunxuan put forward a requirement. The standard of 300 yuan is considered a high-end seat in rural areas.

"No problem, look at two elbows and two chickens on each table, stir-fry four plates, stew a meat, and then bake an egg soup?" asked Cook Wang.

"You look at it, you have the final say in this matter." As he said that, Liu Yunxuan ordered 1,800 yuan and handed it to Cook Wang, of which 1,500 yuan was the face-to-face money and 300 yuan was labor money.

"There are more, there are only 5 tables of mats. 200 yuan of labor is enough. Take it back for 100 yuan." The 5 tables of mats cost 300 yuan of labor, and Cook Wang felt that it was a bit too much.

"Not much, just help me with more snacks." Liu Yunxuan blocked him back.

"Xuanzi, just think about it. If someone doesn't eat well, you will slap me in the face at that time." Cook Wang promised.

On the morning of May 21st, Liu Yunxuan drove the fat man's X5 to the expressway to pick up Wang Yue and Lao Li. They all set off in the middle of the night to avoid delaying the time to pick melons.

Liu Yunhai drove a pickup truck and took the truck to the floor pound house in the town. The 600,000 kilogram transaction was still a big deal.

There were also many people in the village who watched the fun. After all, I heard that the watermelons of the Liu family’s eldest son were about to open, and they were sold quite expensively.

They are also planting melons. Their price is high, and their own family is still filling their grout, and it will take half a month to get ripened. This person is really incomparable to others.

The scene of ten large trucks parked on the side of the road waiting for loading was still very spectacular. Usually, when watermelon was on the market, it would be too many to have two or three at a time.

"Everyone calm down. When picking melons, you should take the melon seedlings and cut them down. Try to grow longer and don't bump them."

"Let's put the bumps aside and let's eat them by ourselves, and let's put the small ones aside. Then we will share them with everyone, and remember them all, right?" Liu Yunxuan shouted.

"Don't worry, I'll explain to them all. Clear out two roads first so that you can get off the bus."

"Before you came, you had already put a part of the business label given by Yunhai, and everyone picked it up according to the label." Li Yong said.

"Then I won't say much, Brother Yong, lead everyone to start work." After Liu Yunxuan said that, he walked towards Wang Yue and the others.

After Wang Yue came to the melon field to see these watermelons, he was considered to be in mind. After all, it was his first transaction and he was afraid that the remaining watermelons were not as big as those samples.

"Yunxuan, do you think these little ones are asked to take them away together?" Wang Yue was thinking about those scattered melons again.

Although they are all zimangua, they are not small anymore. After these two days, they are 80% more mature. After a few days, they can still be ripe and speak well.

It’s not that Liu Yunxuan is reluctant to let go of Big Watermelon, but mainly because he really needs money in the early stages of his business.

"Don't worry about it. I'm a little girl and I plan to give it to the village to try. By the way, I'll say hello to you first. I have to leave about 400 melons for gifts."

Liu Yunxuan said.

Wang Yue understood that no matter how big your business is, the relationship that should be maintained must be maintained.

"Yunxuan, come here." At this time, the village chief Liu Tianlai shouted and asked Liu Yunxuan to go over.

"If you have it, go there." Liu Yunxuan agreed, and at the same time noticed that there were several people around the village chief, and the leaders should be the cadres in the town.

"Yunxuan, let me introduce you to you. This is Mayor Wang from our town. When I heard that you were picking melons today, I would also come and take a look." Liu Tianlai introduced.

Liu Yunxuan quickly shook hands with Mayor Wang, "Hello, Mayor Wang, you are very welcome to come here to inspect." Liu Yunxuan's posture was very low.

"I know you used to be the top scorer in our county's college entrance examination, but now you should be the watermelon king in our county."

Mayor Wang Mingyuan took the initiative to shake hands with Liu Yuntao.

Mayor Wang was very satisfied with Liu Yunxuan's attitude. Everyone carried the flower sedan chair. Although he was a mayor, he couldn't care about others. Besides, he still had some requests from others when he came here this time.

"How is this? This batch of watermelons sells well?" Mayor Wang asked.

"It's okay, because this batch of organic watermelons is invested a lot, but the price is also high, and it costs 7 yuan per pound." Liu Yunxuan didn't hide it, anyway, everyone knows the price sooner or later.

When everyone heard this price, they were breathing air conditioners. They all knew that the price might not be cheap, but they didn’t expect that such a large piece of watermelon would cost millions.

"Okay, okay, okay, okay" Wang Zhenzhu said three good words in a row, "The top scholar is the top scholar, and you can also have the ability to plant melons."

"You have over-rewarded, and you have invested a lot and you have a lot of risks." Liu Yunxuan said modestly.

Some people who work are talking to Liu Yunxuan when they hear the conversation between the mayor and Liu Yunxuan. However, they are more careful when moving watermelons. A watermelon costs almost 200 yuan.

I had been busy all day and only loaded the last car at almost 6 o'clock in the evening. I was also fooled in the melon field at noon. There was not so much time to go back and forth. Mayor Wang also went to supper at the invitation of Liu Yunxuan.

Of course the mayor sat at the main table, and of course the food was the same, but the identity of the accompanying guests was different.

"Yunxuan, I'm so proud, call you brother, see if your watermelon planting technology can be promoted in our town?"

"To be honest, I also think our fellow villagers have a better life, but I have limited abilities and have never found a good business." Mayor Wang asked.

"Mayor Wang, don't worry. I have also considered promoting this cultivation technology."

"I'll give you a sample first, and everyone will know that this kind of watermelon is profitable in the future."

"If you don't let everyone spend a lot of money to change the planting, you won't accept it."

"The other is that the conditions for planting watermelons are limited, so they need to be planted in a planned manner, otherwise there will be no land to plant."

Liu Yunxuan took a sip of wine and continued.

"That's how I plan. I have my own agricultural products company. I can consider asking the villagers to sign a contract with our company at that time."

"We use seed technology and the villagers invest in land. At that time, the profit will be 55 cents. A pound of watermelon will have a profit of about 100% or 50 cents."

"Of course there are certain risks. If the years are not good, you may also lose money."

"What are the risks left? A fool doesn't do it. The year is not good, so I will pay for whatever I planted. I have no land, and I am the first to sign up for it."

Mayor Wang smiled and said, "Come on Yunxuan, you will never forget everyone when you make a fortune. I will give you a cup on behalf of the town's elders and fellow villagers."

As he said that, he picked up the wine glass on the table without waiting for Liu Yunxuan to reply and ran out.

Having said that, Liu Yunxuan was not reserved, and he did everything in the same way.

Through today's contact, Liu Yunxuan felt that Mayor Wang should have sincerely considered the villagers.

Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to spend a day with me here just for this evening meal.

Everyone was very satisfied with the food. When Mayor Wang left, he exchanged his private phone number with Liu Yunxuan and told him that he could call him directly if he had something to do.

Liu Yunxuan is also happy. Eating alone is not fat. Everyone has the money to make money to operate for a long time.

It just so happened that I was sleepy and touching the pillow. With Mayor Wang coming forward, things would be much easier to handle.

After seeing off Wang Yue and the others, Liu Yunxuan arranged to send 50 big watermelons and 100 small watermelons to the town tomorrow. As for how to divide it, I don’t care.

Excluding the watermelon left behind, I sold 675,000 kilograms. I earned 4.725 million yuan, and after spending, I earned more than 4 million yuan.
