Chapter 69 - 69 Watermelon Test

69 Watermelon Test

The villagers were still a little doubtful and repulsed by the fact that the watermelons had to be checked first.

Why were their watermelons being tested? Wasn’t she suspecting that someone had poisoned it?

Therefore, no one was willing to let their watermelons be tested first.

Of course, this was because the villagers had limited knowledge.

Shi Lichun looked at the villagers’ attitude and decisively brought them to his melon field.

The melon farmers followed in a grandiose manner. They were really curious about how this watermelon test was done.

When they arrived in the field, Shi Lichun and the other two brothers found a few watermelons in the field, cut them open, and distributed them to the people who came here to try.

No one refused.

After all, everyone knew that the watermelons of Shi Lichun and his brothers were delicious, but many people did not know how delicious they were.

Their family had watermelons, so it was not good to find an excuse to ask others for watermelons.

Many people tasted it and hurriedly praised, “This watermelon is really sweet. Everyone says that their watermelons are sweet. I thought it was just hearsay. I didn’t expect it to be really sweet.”

“In the past, I wanted to go to their house to try watermelons, but I was really embarrassed to go because I have watermelons at home. Now that I’ve tried them, they’re really delicious. No wonder their watermelons are even more expensive than ours.”

… .

The villagers praised the watermelons of Shi Lichun and his brothers.

Gao Wenwen and the other two staff members tasted the first bite and their eyes lit up.

This sweetness was still acceptable. It should have reached their quality standards.

As Gao Wenwen ate, she said to Shi Lichun, “Eldest Uncle, your watermelon is really good. The sweetness of this watermelon suits our quality standards. Don’t worry, Uncles, I will definitely buy your watermelon at a high price!”

She was simply familiar with the Shi brothers and addressed them as uncle and aunt, making the entire family overjoyed.

The two subordinates Gao Wenwen had brought ate a piece of watermelon each and began to work.

They opened the combination box and took out the delicate instrument inside.

Even the ignorant villagers could tell that this instrument was very precious.

The expensive instrument shone in the sun!

No one made a sound. They ate their watermelons and watched intently.

The two staff members did things meticulously and carefully.

They first randomly picked out ten watermelons from the melon field and cut each one open. They dug out the melon flesh in the middle and placed it in the instrument. A moment later, the instrument clanged and the data came out.

After that, they cut some melon flesh that bordered the melon skin and the melon core. Then, they had to test them one by one.

The entire process took about forty minutes.

Halfway through, some villagers began to discuss.

“So this is the so-called test. But isn’t this too useless?”

If not for these onlookers, how could they finish ten watermelons today?

After the watermelon was cut open, it could not be eaten the next day.

“That’s a bit of a waste.”

“A useless watermelon is a useless watermelon. However, if the purchase price is high, we can waste some for this test.”

“What the hell is she checking?”

“Nothing is certain!”

“I’ve just seen other bosses come here to collect watermelons. They just cut them open, taste them, and then negotiate a price before collecting them. I’ve not seen a watermelon boss do something as complicated as they do.”

“Perhaps she has her reasons,” someone said. “Otherwise, why would she give such a high acquisition price!”

The lowest purchase price was 80 cents.

“‘What if it’s high?”

Was it really as Shi Lichun’s niece had said? At least two dollars?

If that was the case, it would be very profitable. In the coming year, everyone would come to plant watermelons.

While the villagers were discussing, the two staff members handed the report of the inspection test to Gao Wenwen.

The man with the glasses pushed up the frame on his nose and said with a smile, “The results of this test are still okay. The watermelon is 13.5% sweet. It’s juicy and crispy and sweet as honey.”

Gao Wenwen read the report very seriously as she listened to his subordinate’s report.

“It’s just that this watermelon is still lacking in quality,” Assistant Chen said again.

Gao Wenwen nodded. “Yes, I understand.”

Then, she handed the report to her uncle, Shi Lichun, and said seriously,

“Uncle, Qingming told me earlier that the watermelons planted by your family are delicious and sweet. They are green fruits that are harmless. It’s very likely that they have reached a high standard of quality of organic green fruits that are harmless.

If that’s the case, then your family’s watermelon purchase price meets our highest standard, more than six dollars. It’s just that…”

When she said “just”, almost everyone held their breaths and listened very seriously.

The price of more than six dollars was simply astronomical.

In the past, when watermelons could sell well, they were only worth about a dollar.

If Shi Lichun’s watermelon was really sold for such a price, their family would really be rich.

They still had 50,000 to 60,000 catties. If they sold them all, it would be at least 300,000 dollars.

This number was an amount that many farmers had to work their entire lives to reach.

However, when they heard the young female boss say “just”, everyone’s hearts skipped a beat.

“There won’t be any changes, will there?”

“It’s just that, Uncle, your watermelon meets the standard of green fruit without harm, but it doesn’t meet the standard of organic green fruit without harm, so the price is slightly lower. The price is between two to five dollars.”

Shi Lichun and the others did not quite understand. What was the difference between a harmless organic green fruit and a harmless green fruit? The difference in price was so big.

Gao Wenwen did not understand their doubts and continued, “This is divided according to the size of the watermelon. ”

“In other words, when we purchase watermelons, there are certain requirements regarding the quality of the watermelons. Watermelons that were too small and too big cost another price.”

“However, don’t worry, we’re only grading, we’re still acquiring!”

Shi Lichun recovered from the shock of hearing the price.

He nodded at Gao Wenwen’s words, then asked a little nervously, “Miss Gao.”

“Uncle, call me Wenwen. Qingming and I are best friends, and my father and Uncle Gu are also good friends. Therefore, Qingming’s uncle is my uncle.” Gao Wenwen smiled and said, “It makes me feel a little awkward to have you address me as Miss Gao like this!”

Uncle smiled and said, “Alright, Wenwen. Then I’ll ask directly.”

“Yes, Uncle. What do you want to ask? Just ask,” Gao Wenwen said with a smile.

“Wenwen, can our watermelon really be sold for such a high price?” Uncle asked suspiciously. “Don’t tell me you want to give our family a chance to get rich on account of Ming’er?”

Gao Wenwen was immediately amused.

She smiled and said, “Eldest Uncle, the ways of the world are the ways of the world. Business is business! I never bring my personal feelings to business. Don’t worry, Eldest Uncle. If I really want you to make a fortune, Qingming has plenty of ability. I won’t snatch her chance.”

Eldest Uncle nodded and asked, “Then what’s the price of our watermelons?”
