Chapter 70: 70 High-Price Acquisition

70 High-Price Acquisition

Everyone was very concerned about the price of Shi Lichun’s watermelon.

As they stared intently at Gao Wenwen, their ears pricked up.

Gao Wenwen smiled and said, “Uncle, the sweetness of the watermelon has reached our standards, but this watermelon has a certain amount of pesticide residue.”

When Uncle Shi Lichun heard this, he immediately 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 watermelons have never been tainted with pesticides. How can there be pesticide residue?”

“Could it be that someone was jealous and secretly shot pesticides in their fields?”

“That’s impossible. Don’t pesticides cost money? This is a dozen acres of watermelon.” Who would think of using pesticides out of jealousy?

“Their watermelons 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 watermelons in their fields, they were extremely 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 watermelons to this extent. Although there’s pesticide residue on the watermelons, the concentration is very low.”

Then she explained, “Just because you didn’t inject pesticides doesn’t mean 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 means that one gram of pesticide residue is allowed per million grams. Uncle, your watermelon 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 came from if they didn’t add them to their fields.

“Uncle, this pesticide residue might have come 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 became.

His third cousin, Shi Yaoqing, suddenly thought of the reason.

He said, “Ah, I understand. Although our family uses the farm fertilizer we fermented ourselves, these farm fertilizers were also made from mixed grains and fermented from these straws. And these things were all cultivated with pesticides. Some of these pesticides were also left on the watermelons.”

Hearing Shi Yaoqing’s words, some people understood.

However, some villagers were even more confused.

How could such a pesticide be left on a watermelon?

That pesticide really seemed 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 environment, 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 watermelon!”

“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 watermelon is an AA-grade green food. Its price might be divided into two levels.

Level 1 watermelons that looked relatively even and beautiful were priced at 5 dollars according to the highest standard.”

“Level 2 watermelons 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 watermelons had never been cultivated with pesticides, they could be bought for such a high price.

This was ten times 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 watermelons of Shi Lichun and his brothers could be sold for a high price, their watermelons would definitely be sold for a high price.

Miss Gao’s boss had said that even if the watermelons did not meet 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 watermelons, 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 watermelons 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 watermelons in the village. Could so many watermelons 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 watermelons were sold overseas.

“Okay, okay. So should we pick them now?” Uncle asked.

“Pick them now. Before I came, I pulled out two big trucks from the company. They’ll be here tonight. It’s just that everyone might have to work overtime tonight!” Gao Wenwen said with a smile.

“The trucks will arrive tonight. Good, good…” Uncle and the others were excited.

As for working overtime or pulling an all-nighter, it was nothing.

The watermelons 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 watermelons, the other watermelon farmers immediately became restless.

Shi Bangliang immediately walked up to Gao Wenwen and said, “Miss Gao, my family has also planted a few acres of watermelons. We can pick 20,000 to 30,000 catties. Can you come to my field to test the watermelons 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 watermelon.”

Gu Qingming nodded and said, “Yes, Uncle, your watermelons are indeed delicious!” Of course, they could not compare to her uncles’.

Gao Wenwen and the others came to Shi Bangliang’s watermelon field again.
