“So, is it three minutes or five?
I think it might be burnt again underneath!” Xu Xiaoyan cautioned on the side.
“Huh…seems so!
I also sll sothing burnt.
Could it be the lingering odor from the burn earlier?” Guo Jingya exclaid in surprise.
“Miss, miss!
It really is burnt…” Nana shouted.
“Ah…”
As for Yan Fei, who was currently hanging around the waterlon field, he didn’t want to hear the overbearing noise of the three girls in the kitchen anymore.
They had been quarreling for a lengthy period and still hadn’t produced a proper-looking steak.
These three were just ssing around because they had too much free ti after eating breakfast.
They ca just to waste his beef.
Deciding not to think about the steak anymore, he felt a sudden urge, and without moving his hand, he found himself with a piece of jerky from the dinosaur world in his mouth, which he began to chew slowly.
Originally, the Sixth Miss Guo and her company were about to leave, but today happened to be the day for slaughtering cows, so she postponed her departure and insisted on eating a few more als of beef before leaving.
Not only did she do this, but she also called ho and asked her ho chef on how to make steak.
Then, she began practicing with the beef- Yan Fei thought that the amount of money she wasted on the call would be enough to buy countless steaks.
That was an international long-distance call.
The cost of a minute’s call could allow an ordinary family to enjoy several als of at.
Luckily, she knew her limitations, and the beef she was using was just ordinary beef; she hadn’t started using the good beef yet.
Although ordinary beef doesn’t sell for much, these people were too wasteful, especially those two girls from Hong Kong who insisted on using a tir to strictly control the cooking ti.
The result was that their steaks turned out in all kinds of shapes, resembling anything but a steak.
Fortunately, none of the beef would go to waste.
The nurous animals outside weren’t too picky, and they had feasted on anything burned slightly.
Upon examining, Yan Fei concluded that it was a bit too late for the waterlons to ripen.
The plan was for the crop to hit the market earlier than usual, but because the waterlons were so big, they took longer to ripen.
Just about now they can start selling, but they are only marginally earlier than other early-maturing waterlon crops.
By the ti of the second harvest, other early-maturing waterlons will also be ready for the market.
If not for his own waterlons being substantially larger, he might not hold any advantage.
Upon seeing the field full of waterlons, Yan Fei started thinking about how to get a satisfactory price for these waterlons during the few days before other waterlons enter the market.
After giving so thought, he decided it would be best to sell them in the city.
While he could get a higher price in the provincial city, he didn’t know anyone there.
To establish a new market for just a few waterlons didn’t seem worth it.
In the long run, he didn’t plan on planting them again.
In Yan Fei’s view, growing waterlons wouldn’t be profitable, even if he got a high price for them.
Although Tanghe County is a major area for waterlon cultivation and despite the relatively inconvenient transportation, the waterlons from Tanghe County were famous in the surrounding cities.
This is definitely good news for waterlon lovers, but for the farrs, it’s a mixed blessing.
It’s good because they don’t have to find custors themselves.
When waterlon season arrives, custors from all around would proactively seek them out.
The downside, though, lies in the fact that there were too many waterlon growers, pushing the wholesale price down to a few cents per catty.
Even the local retail price didn’t exceed more than a few dis per catty.
If it rose to three dis, it would be considered a high price.
Yan Fei’s waterlons were only a few days early, so he couldn’t sit back and wait for custors to co.
In fact, if he hadn’t other revenue sources, growing waterlons might still be an option.
However, both Agaricus bisporus and earthworms were in huge demand, but short supply.
Plants of Agaricus bisporus hadn’t even matured yet when the Sixth Miss Guo promised to carry so in her truck when she cos to transport the beef.
This gave Yan Fei an idea.
As the quantity of beef for sale continues to increase, he could pair Agaricus bisporus with the beef.
With this in mind, he felt it unnecessary to put in so much effort into growing waterlons anymore.
Concentrating on one thing seed better.
Even without economic background, he knew to stick to what was profitable.
Moreover, did he really need to compete for business with those poor lon and vegetable farrs in the surrounding areas?
As he was thinking, his pager beeped.
Taking a look, finally, Comrade Old He had arrived.
He recognized the area code of the number left on his pager as Wancheng City’s, which ant He should be nearby.
He ran back, hopped on his motorbike, and shouted to the three girls in the house: “Stop ssing around and just cook it thoroughly!
We might have guests arriving in a bit.”
He got on his motorbike and dashed to the cattle farm.
Heizi and his gang were busy pulling electric wires in the newly built house.
They were enthusiastic about their upcoming ho and didn’t even need to hire an electrician for help- they were pulling the wires by themselves.
If it wasn’t for Yan Fei thinking that they weren’t professional enough, they would have wanted to install the water pipes by themselves too.
As the interior of the new house was still not dry, they couldn’t move in yet so they had plenty of ti to dabble around.
He dialed the number, and Old He was on the other end of the line shouting: “Little Yan, I had planned to surprise you by arriving unannounced, but I was afraid you wouldn’t have enough food and water prepared, so I decided to call ahead.
I’m already in your city.
Can I co now?”
