70 High-Price Acquisition
Everyone was very concerned about the price of Shi Lichun’s waterlon.
As they stared intently at Gao Wenwen, their ears pricked up.
Gao Wenwen smiled and said, “Uncle, the sweetness of the waterlon has reached our standards, but this waterlon has a certain amount of pesticide residue.”
When Uncle Shi Lichun heard this, he imdiately did not understand.
“How can that be? I’ve never used pesticides before. How can there be pesticide residue?”
When the other villagers heard this, they started discussing among themselves.
“That’s right. Their waterlons have never been tainted with pesticides. How can there be pesticide residue?”
“Could it be that soone was jealous and secretly shot pesticides in their fields?”
“That’s impossible. Don’t pesticides cost money? This is a dozen acres of waterlon.” Who would think of using pesticides out of jealousy?
“Their waterlons have never been affected by pesticides or fertilized with chemicals. Why is there pesticide residue? It doesn’t make sense.”
When Shi Lichun, Shi Liqiu, and Shi Lidong heard that there was actually pesticide residue in the waterlons in their fields, they were extrely anxious.
Gu Qingming smiled and comforted him. “Uncle, don’t worry. Listen to Wenwen.”
Gao Wenwen smiled and continued, “That’s right, Eldest Uncle, Second Uncle, Third Uncle, don’t worry. You don’t have professional technical guidance. It’s already not bad to plant waterlons to this extent. Although there’s pesticide residue on the waterlons, the concentration is very low.”
Then she explained, “Just because you didn’t inject pesticides doesn’t an there’s no pesticide residue. Currently, the safety standard for pesticide residue in our country is 1 ppm. What kind of concept is that? That ans that one gram of pesticide residue is allowed per million grams. Uncle, your waterlon residue is far below that standard. Only 0.3 grams per million grams.”
Shi Lichun and the others were even more confused.
None of them understood where the pesticide residues ca from if they didn’t add them to their fields.
“Uncle, this pesticide residue might have co from your application of farm fertilizer!” Gao Wenwen guessed.
“Ha, how can our own farm fertilizer have pesticides?”
The more they listened, the more confused they beca.
His third cousin, Shi Yaoqing, suddenly thought of the reason.
He said, “Ah, I understand. Although our family uses the farm fertilizer we fernted ourselves, these farm fertilizers were also made from mixed grains and fernted from these straws. And these things were all cultivated with pesticides. So of these pesticides were also left on the waterlons.”
Hearing Shi Yaoqing’s words, so people understood.
However, so villagers were even more confused.
How could such a pesticide be left on a waterlon?
That pesticide really seed like a resilient cockroach.
Gao Wenwen nodded and said with a smile, “Third Brother is right. That’s the reason. Moreover, this pesticide residue is not caused by pesticides when planted.”
“This pesticide residue may be due to the environnt, water source, and nutrition of the plant.”
“Previously, organic product standards stipulated that pesticide residues in organic products should not exceed 5 percent of the limits set by national food hygiene standards; now, they cannot even be detected.”
“In other words, there could not be any pesticide residue in the organic waterlon!”
“However, the standard for green food pesticide residues is 0.01 mg/kg, which is 0.01 parts per million.”
“No-harm green food is also divided into AA and A.
The main difference is that during production, grade AA does not use any pesticides, fertilizers, or synthetic hormones; grade A allows limited use of pesticides, fertilizers, and synthetic hormones.”
“Uncle, your waterlon is an AA-grade green food. Its price might be divided into two levels.
Level 1 waterlons that looked relatively even and beautiful were priced at 5 dollars according to the highest standard.”
“Level 2 waterlons are usually too big or too small. They are priced at three 3 because they have reached the required level of sweetness.”
Gao Wenwen’s words shocked all the villagers.
They could not understand what Gao Wenwen had said about standards.
But they heard the last two sentences clearly.
“Wow, 5 dollars and 3 dollars! Those … those are high prices!”
No one could believe it.
Just because the waterlons had never been cultivated with pesticides, they could be bought for such a high price.
This was ten tis the price of the previous offer by Boss Liu.
How could there be such a huge difference?
The villagers did not understand, but they were all very excited.
If the waterlons of Shi Lichun and his brothers could be sold for a high price, their waterlons would definitely be sold for a high price.
Miss Gao’s boss had said that even if the waterlons did not et the standard, she would buy them for 80 cents a catty.
This was equivalent to a pie falling from the sky. Who wouldn’t want to pick it up?
Shi Lichun’s family was the most excited.
They had planted so many waterlons, but they had never sold them for such a high price.
Now that they could suddenly be sold for such a high price, it was simply like a dream.
Gao Wenwen even smiled and said, “Eldest Uncle, Second Uncle, Third Uncle, how many waterlons do you have in your fields? No matter how many there are, I’ll buy them up.”
Shi Lichun said excitedly, “Wenwen, are you sure? Do you… do you want so many?”
This was close to 60,000 catties!
There were other people’s waterlons in the village. Could so many waterlons be sold?
Perhaps she realized what the uncles and the others were worried about.
Gao Wenwen smiled and said, “I need them.” Most of the waterlons were sold overseas.
“Okay, okay. So should we pick them now?” Uncle asked.
“Pick them now. Before I ca, I pulled out two big trucks from the company. They’ll be here tonight. It’s just that everyone might have to work overti tonight!” Gao Wenwen said with a smile.
“The trucks will arrive tonight. Good, good…” Uncle and the others were excited.
As for working overti or pulling an all-nighter, it was nothing.
The waterlons were sold at a high price. He was so happy that he did not know what to do.
Seeing that Gao Wenwen had set a high price for Shi Lichun’s waterlons, the other waterlon farrs imdiately beca restless.
Shi Bangliang imdiately walked up to Gao Wenwen and said, “Miss Gao, my family has also planted a few acres of waterlons. We can pick 20,000 to 30,000 catties. Can you co to my field to test the waterlons and see if they can be sold to you?”
After speaking to Gao Wenwen, he looked at Gu Qingming and said with a smile, “Niece has eaten my waterlon.”
Gu Qingming nodded and said, “Yes, Uncle, your waterlons are indeed delicious!” Of course, they could not compare to her uncles’.
Gao Wenwen and the others ca to Shi Bangliang’s waterlon field again.
