Chapter 69 Planting water spinach is still very profitable
Chen Mo originally planned to pick water spinach from 5 greenhouses every day.

As time went by, the water spinach in the greenhouse at the back grew vigorously, and the first crop of water spinach was harvested in a few days.

Chen Mo remembered how much these water spinach were sold every day, how much money he received, and the wages paid.

Using a harvester does save manpower.However, the labor cost is still very high. In addition to the labor cost of harvesting, people have to be hired to weed, fertilize and water.

The first crop of water spinach totaled 8.85 kilograms, and the price varied every day.

Recently sold a batch, the price is 1 yuan.

The total income was 7.988 yuan.

Labor cost expenditure, 1.4 yuan.Then I bought thousands of dollars worth of fertilizer.

I made about 6 yuan.

The second crop of water spinach, greenhouses 1-5, has been harvested for exactly 10 days.The water spinach has grown, but it will take more than five days to harvest.

The temperature during the day is still acceptable, and the temperature at night is very cold.

Taking advantage of the time when there was nothing to do, Chen Mo asked Master Huang to cover the greenhouse film.

When growing water spinach, Chen Mo wants to get back his money quickly.

If planting Chinese herbal medicines, such as Chonglou, Chonglou generally needs to be planted for 5-7 years to harvest. If it is sown and propagated, it needs to be planted for 7-10 years before harvesting.There are spiritual springs, and it will take three to five years to harvest the heavy buildings, which is too long.

Planting Coptis chinensis also takes many years to harvest.

Some Chinese medicinal materials that are planted this year and harvested next year are usually not expensive.

As for the medicinal materials cultivated from the spiritual spring, it is possible that the medicinal properties are better... Even an experienced Chinese medicine practitioner should not be able to tell the medicinal properties.

Medicinal materials pay attention to the year and place of origin.

Chen Mo planted some Gastrodia elata in the space and bought some Changbai Mountain ginseng seeds to sprinkle in the space.

Water spinach is cheap, and the biggest advantage is that if the moon hole is planted this month, there will be a harvest next month.The price is cheap, but the output is high.

Normal water spinach, it is said that if it is well managed, it can collect about 1.5 catties...

Chen Mo has built 100 greenhouses here, covering 60 acres, which shouldn't be bad.

The greenhouse is covered with film and it's November.

Into November, the temperature will be colder day by day.

Over in the orchard, Chen Mo also prepared a film to wrap the fruit trees after the beginning of winter.Navel oranges don’t matter, the most important thing is tangerines.

Navel oranges have thick peels and are picked in December.If wrapped in film, navel oranges can be kept until the end of December and picked in January.Depending on the situation, you can even leave it until later in the year, or even pick it in March.

When to pick, look at the price.

If you have to save it for picking after the Chinese New Year, it is best to cover the fruit trees with a layer of film.

Litchi can be planted on the east side, but it is also very cold in winter, and frost is common.It even snows occasionally...

In the afternoon, Chen Mo had nothing to do and collected the floor cage with his father.

"There are not many eels in the field." Dad mentioned the ground cage, and there were only three Dahuangshan in it, and there were many small eels.

"How about raising rice field eels?" Chen Mo said, "I sold the fish at the end of the year. If we raise rice field eels, we don't need to clean up the fish pond. It's hard to clean the mud inside such a big fish pond."

“You can raise eels in such a deep fish pond?”

"Just don't add too much water. It's still profitable to raise eels, much more than raising fish. And it's easy to raise eels."

"If we feed the eels, what are we going to do with the duckweed in the field?"

"I won't raise duckweed in the future."

"casual."

After being left in the ground cage for a day, a total of more than [-] kilograms of eels were harvested.

When I got home in the evening, my dad made roasted eel with garlic.

"Where's my mother?" Chen Mo asked as dinner was about to be ready.

"I went to find a matchmaker, and she said she was going to introduce you to a girlfriend." Father Chen said.

Mom, too, took great pains.

When it was dark, my mother came back, and handed Chen Mo a phone number with a smile on her face: "Look for the phone number that the matchmaker gave you, and seize the opportunity."

Again.

Chen Mo even wanted to move out and not come back.

"What's the matter, not happy?" Mom said.

"No." Chen Mo took the phone number.

"Give her a call and have a chat." Mom said, "If we can chat, call her over for dinner another day...Come on, don't be alone during the Chinese New Year."

Chen Mo gave a perfunctory 'hmm': "Let's eat."

"I watched you text her."

"what is her name?"

"The surname is Wei. It seems to be Wei Mengting."

Chen Mo edited the text message: "Hi, my name is Chen Mo. I was introduced by the matchmaker." The text message was sent, and Chen Mo looked at his mother: "Okay, send it."

"Have a good chat." Mom warned again.

"know."

At night, after nine o'clock, Wei Mengting came back and texted: "My name is Wei Mengting."

Chen Mo probably really has a bit of social phobia.When chatting with girls, he wanted to be more proactive, but he didn't know how to start the conversation.

"I don't know what to talk about." The text message was sent, but there was no reply for a while, and Chen Mo edited the text message again: "What are you doing?"

After ten o'clock, Wei Mengting came back with a text message: "Get ready to wash up and go to bed. By the way, the matchmaker said you are 36 years old. What do you do?"

"Do some business yourself."

"How much money can you make in a month by starting your own business?"

"It depends on the situation, the average is [-] to [-]." Chen Mo didn't say too high.

A monthly salary of [-] to [-] yuan is definitely a high-income group in Donglin.

"That's okay. The matchmaker said you are handsome. Why are you so old and not married yet?"

"I haven't met the right one. How old are you?"

"It's rude to ask a girl her age." Wei Mengting then sent another message: "24 years old."

Chen Mo smiled: "Do you mind my age?"

"I don't mind. As a man, it doesn't matter if you are older. What matters is that you are capable."

Chen Mo smiled and wanted to take out a cigarette and light one. After thinking about it, he decided to forget it: "What do you do?"

"I sell cosmetics. What kind of entertainment do you usually have?"

"No. I'm a very boring person...occasionally I just attend a friend's party, and there's no entertainment."

Wei Mengting is good at chatting, and Chen Mo will continue with his original life later on.

A few days later, the second crop of water spinach also came out.This second crop of water spinach has grown very quickly, with a length of more than [-] centimeters, and the stalks are still very tender.

Entering November, the price of water spinach has increased a bit.But this increase is not huge.

However, the water spinach here at Chen Mo is of good quality. After Liu Run and his partner came over to take a look, they gave them a price of 1.2 yuan.

There are only 5 greenhouses for this batch of water spinach, and they are harvested with a harvester. They start at eight o'clock in the morning, rest for an hour at noon, and finish harvesting at three o'clock in the afternoon.

The second crop of water spinach grows from the previously reserved joints.This batch of water spinach has better growth and better density.

After five o'clock, the car with water spinach left.

Zhang Cheng looked at the cart full of water spinach and said, "How can you sell so many water spinach?"

"Send it to the wholesale market. They wholesale some of it themselves and sell some to other vegetable vendors." Chen Mo said.Some water spinach will also be sent to other cities.

It's November, and the output of water spinach that is normally planted is very low.

Vegetables grown in greenhouses are generally expensive.

"The green peppers I have over there are blooming, and they will be able to produce crops in about ten days." Zhang Cheng said, "Will Liu Run and the others harvest other vegetables?"

"If you want to collect it, as long as the price is right. Green peppers are quite expensive now, about 1.8 yuan."

"Purchase price?"

"Yeah." Chen Mo nodded: "Wholesale market, two yuan and three."

During this period, Chen Mo sold eels and occasionally went to the wholesale market to learn about the market.The wholesale price is definitely cheaper than the purchase price.I went to the market yesterday and saw that the wholesale price of green peppers was 2.3 yuan per catty.

But after more than ten days, the price of green peppers should be cheaper.At that time, many green peppers were produced in greenhouses.

While they were chatting, Chen Mo received a text message on his phone from the bank for a payment of 1.14 yuan.

1.2 yuan per catty of water spinach, 1 yuan, that is 1.14 catties.Calculated, a greenhouse weighs about 9600 catties.

Water spinach is planted on a large scale, managed, and then harvested in batches. The yield of water spinach produced by this kind of management is already very high.Water spinach in some greenhouses can harvest more than three thousand catties at a time.If it is hydroponics, the yield can be even better.

Normal water spinach is collected every 30-45 days.The water spinach here in Chen Mo can be harvested once every 20 days, and it grows very well.

"Now water spinach costs more than one yuan. If I had known it, I would have followed you in planting water spinach." Zhang Cheng said: "There are a lot of things to do in planting tomatoes and green peppers. I feel that it is difficult to recover the cost of the 10,000+ I invested. .”

"After picking this batch of vegetables, we can plant another batch after the new year." Chen Mo said with a smile.

"Water spinach, it seems that once you plant it, you can always harvest it?"

"With water and fertilizer management done well, we can theoretically receive the harvest in May and June next year..."

Zhang Cheng did the math, and this... seems a bit scary.

The hole planting of water spinach was completed on September 9rd.

1——5号大棚，应该是9月18号左右完成的穴栽。今天是11月5号，已经收二茬空心菜了。

Moreover, the second crop of water spinach grows better than the first crop, and the density is higher.

One crop of water spinach, one seed and one vegetable.Some seeds did not survive.

The second crop of water spinach sprouts from old vegetable stalks, and its density is more than double that of the first crop of water spinach.

Chen Mo is also calculating. If these two crops of water spinach are sold out, he can make a profit of about 20 yuan.As far as the growth of water spinach is concerned, not to mention harvesting two crops a month... because the temperature is about to cool down, it should be possible to harvest three crops in the next two months.
