After marrying sick Yangzi, I made my whole family rich

"Okay!" Although Lu Hai was a little reluctant to give it to outsiders, he also knew that there were so many melons, and if he didn't eat them quickly, some of them would probably spoil.

"Others will be picked one after another in the past two days and transported down the mountain. When I leave, I will pick some fresh ones back."

"I also want to send one to Lu He, my mother and the others, Ye Qiao, my wife, my grandson, and the wife of Baichuan Academy...etc., Lin Gui and Lin Cai's family members will also send one each. They are working hard in the south of the Yangtze River. My family is also thinking about it very much, and since I, the third owner, have come back, I should give one as a gift."

Originally, she was thinking about whether Wen Changming and others should give it as a gift, but after thinking about it, this melon was quite rare, and in front of Lu Hai, she decided to forget it.

Didn't you see that every time she said something, the look of pain on this guy's face became more obvious?

"It's okay. This place looks very suitable for growing melons. Look, there's a large open space behind it. It's enough to plant an acre or two. There will be endless melons next year." Then we can plant some cantaloupe and cantaloupe. , don’t be too beautiful!

Child Lu Hai was immediately coaxed and said, "Then you can plant more seeds, but the seeds you bought are really enough."

"That's right, it's also my luck. I even wonder if I've met a god who specially rewarded me with these powerful seeds." Xu Mengxiao said nonchalantly.

"Don't tell me, it's really possible!" Mr. Xiao said in an official tone, "This is the sweetest melon in the world!"

"Haha, so I am lucky enough to open a seed workshop. This melon seed can also be publicized and sold. However, the price of our melon seeds is very expensive."

"How much can the seeds cost?" Lu Hai felt a little distressed, "It's better to just grow watermelons and sell them more cost-effectively."

"It's okay to sell watermelons. Anyway, I bought a lot of land. I will plant them on ten or twenty acres. Next year when the watermelons go on sale, I can make a small fortune. After all, I can sell such a watermelon for twenty taels of silver." ?”

"Not only that, the ones imported from the Western Regions cost four to five taels each, but you can sell such a sweet one for seven or eight taels!" Mr. Xiao said firmly.

"Wow, if we plant twenty acres, with such an astonishing growth rate, we can probably have more than 5,000 melons? Wouldn't that be close to 40,000 taels of silver!!" Lu Hai looked incredulous.

"This is farming, not a side business, but you can actually get so much harvest..."

Lu Hai took a breath. He followed his father to do farm work, so he knew that this number was unimaginable.

If Xu Mengxiao did nothing but farmed, he could still make a fortune!

Xu Mengxiao smiled lightly. In ancient times, the yield of crops per acre was generally low, so they often couldn't make ends meet.

But which of the seeds she brought is not an excellent variety that has been improved countless times in later generations, and a magical variety that will be further improved in the last days?

She doesn't grow watermelons, but just grows other sorghum, rice, etc., and she can make a small fortune!

"If you sell watermelons, you can also sell seeds at the same time. But I won't sell seeds this year so as not to create competition for myself. Let's sell them next year."

“Next year when we see how beautiful the melons we grow are, I believe there will be countless people willing to buy these melon seeds. And after our publicity this year, many people will believe us even though we have already sold the crop seeds. Remember, by then It won’t matter if the melon seeds are sold more expensively.”

It was getting late, the sun had already set, Xu Mengxiao said as he led them quickly to find the ice powder seeds.

Nowadays, Lu Hai is also the core manager of Chengji Seed Workshop and an important member. He often meets his father-in-law and can convey her words to him.

So Xu Mengxiao didn't mind talking to him about further business triggered by a watermelon.

"Then when they buy watermelons directly, they also buy melon seeds. Aren't they all there?"

"It's different." Xu Mengxiao smiled mysteriously, "Generally, you need a very good melon to leave good seeds, commonly known as 'planting melons'. Not everyone can buy this kind of melon. I definitely want it." Keep it for yourself.”

"Furthermore, if they can plant seeds that are eaten from watermelons, they can grow them. But if they grow crooked melons, cracked dates, or even nothing, they will have to bear the consequences. Then they will know that they still have to get it from us. Buy seeds here.”

Watermelon is different from many other plants, especially her type 8424, which is a hybrid breed.

If the seeds are saved and replanted, there may be a phenomenon of academic separation of the plants, which will weaken the high-quality characteristics and greatly reduce the quality.

The melons grown by then would be impossible to compare with the seeds she had specially cultivated from the source. It would be impossible to make money from them, and the more you plant, the more you would lose!

It is worth mentioning that when modern farmers purchase watermelon varieties, they can usually see a "Notice to Customers" column on the packaging instructions.

There are friendly reminders such as "This variety is a first-generation hybrid and cannot be used as seeds." This also shows that most of the watermelon varieties purchased are hybrids and are not suitable for replanting. Otherwise, it is easy to lose more than the gain.

The same goes for other hybrids, including her rice and other crops.

No matter how good they are at saving seeds for planting, they still can't grow the seeds she sells here, but the difference won't be as big as watermelon, and the yield per acre is higher than all the current seeds, which is already amazing.

But watermelons are different. They will invest a lot of money in growing watermelons, and the value of watermelons is also very high.

"And..." Xu Mengxiao used a sickle to chop down some weeds and thorns in front of her, as if she had already seen the ice powder tree she wanted.

"And what?" Lu Hai was so absorbed in listening that he didn't pay attention to the road under his feet and almost tripped over a few weeds.

"And do you think you can plant watermelons when you tell them to? Will they grow them?"

"Aren't you just spreading it here without caring about it? Is it difficult to plant it?" Lu Hai was confused.

Xu Mengxiao, "..."

"Speaking of which, I also think Zuoshan is so magical and can breed anything. But they may not have such a feng shui treasure land, so people who buy seeds from me must also buy watermelon planting technology from me."

Several people were startled when they heard this, "Can this kind of thing be sold?"

"Of course, if you want to grow bigger and sweeter melons, you can't do it unless you buy the planting techniques from me. When the time comes, I will compile a planting manual and sell it to them for five taels of silver each!"

Three people, "..." Zhou Papi, Pi Pao Zhou.

But if you are willing to invest in the early stage, you will earn a lot more when you grow good watermelons.

Moreover, Xu Mengxiao also shared his money-making skills with everyone, which was equivalent to sharing the benefits with everyone. How could he do it without making some money?

In fact, the reason why Xu Mengxiao wants to sell melon seeds is because the existence of the seed workshop has another meaning, which is to earn some political achievements and reputation for his father-in-law and Song Gao.

Also, if we don’t share it, if we have such a big piece of meat right under our noses, how many envious and coveted people will it attract?

How much more trouble will she get into? !

It's almost imaginable.

"found it!"

Xu Mengxiao's expression lit up before a few people could recover from the overwhelming wealth she had gained from her watermelon business.

"I know it's getting late in this area. Please pick some for me quickly. If you pick more, you can make more ice powder."

Several people seemed to hear similar words again.

But considering how refreshing and delicious the ice powder she described was, it was even more positive than chopping herbs.

Lu Hai was also afraid that something terrible would come out when the sky was dark, so he didn't need to mention how quick his movements were, and Xu Mengxiaoer didn't need to name them.

However, when he was picking them, he still asked curiously, "How do you plan to sell the watermelon seeds?"

"Well, I'm not sure about the market then, but based on preliminary estimates, a seed will sell for 500 to 800 yuan?"

Lu Hai, "..."
