Shi Hangyu put down the phone. He was extremely excited!
He was so happy that he jumped up and down. He immediately went to the next watermelon field to find Gu Qingming. From afar, he shouted loudly, “Sister, President Yin really called.”
Gu Qingming was wearing a straw hat, a plaid shirt, and blue jeans. Although she was dressed very simply, it made her exquisite facial features look even more playful and cute!
She lifted her head up and smiled as she asked, “Older Brother, President Yin, what did he say?”
Shi Hangyu smiled and said, “He asked if our watermelon can be sold to their hotel. This time, they still want 2,000 catties a day!”
Gu Qingming was not surprised at all.
She asked, “Did you tell him the price?”
Shi Hangyu nodded and said, “Yes! I said that our family’s vegetables and watermelons arc organic green food. The price will definitely be more expensive! Our cheapest vegetables are five dollars a catty! The lowest price of this watermelon is 16 dollars a catty! I didn’t expect him to just order 2,000 catties without saying anything! 2,000 catties a day. I wonder if he can sell them all?”
There were many varieties of vegetables that weighed 2,000 catties a day. That was the total number!
Shi Hangyu stopped and asked in confusion, “Sister, isn’t the price of our watermelon too expensive at 16 dollars a catty? You have to know that our watermelons are sold for a few cents a catty! The difference between 16 dollars and a few cents is too big!”
He couldn’t accept it!
If he had to spend 16 dollars to buy a catty of watermelon, he would definitely be reluctant!
Gu Qingming shook her head and said with a smile, “Brother, our family sells vegetables at such a high price. Haven’t you adapted to it yet? You’ve eaten our watermelons before. What do you think of the taste of watermelons at this price compared to watermelons that cost a few cents?”
Shi Hangyu said without thinking, “It’s definitely not comparable! Our watermelons have a refreshing fragrance and sweetness that ordinary watermelons can’t compare to. Even the watermelons that our family used to grow are famous for being sweet in Shahe Town, so our watermelons are more expensive than other people’s! But even those can’t compare to the watermelons in the greenhouse now!”
Gu Qingming smiled and nodded. “Isn’t this it! Last year, when Wenwen came to buy our watermelons, the price reached five to six dollars. Now, if she comes to buy this watermelon, the purchase price will also be 16 dollars!”
Shi Hangyu and the villagers were speechless.
They had never heard of such an expensive watermelon in their lives, let alone eaten it!
“So expensive? 16 dollars per catty. Then 160 dollars for 10 catties. 1,000 catties for 16,000 dollars. Isn’t 10,000 catties 160,000 dollars? If it’s so profitable, why would I plant anything else? I’ll be rich just by planting watermelons!”
Someone immediately laughed and said, “Haha, first of all, you have to be able to grow so many catties of watermelons!”
“That’s right! They spent a lot of money to grow such watermelons! First of all, you have to have the ability to spend a few million dollars to build such an intelligent greenhouse!”
“That’s right! This kind of high-priced watermelon can’t be planted casually!”
While the villagers were envious, they also felt helpless!
A watermelon that cost 16 dollars a catty!
60 acres of land could yield at least 300,000 catties of watermelon!
In that case, the income of each watermelon field reached millions!
No wonder they wanted to invest a few million dollars to build this smart greenhouse!
Sigh, this comparison was infuriating!
The rich would die rich, and the poor would die poor!
When would they suddenly become so rich?
