   Chapter 69 High-priced acquisition (three shifts)

   Everyone is very concerned about the price of Shi Lichun's watermelon.

   All stared at Gao Wenwen, ears perked up.

   Gao Wenwen said with a smile, "Uncle, the sweetness of the watermelon has reached our standard, but some pesticide residues were detected on this watermelon."

   Uncle Shi Lichun didn't understand when he heard it.

   "How is this possible? I have never been exposed to pesticides? How come there are still pesticide residues?"

   The other villagers listened and started talking.

   "Yeah, their watermelons haven't been treated with pesticides at all, so how come there are still pesticide residues?"

   "Isn't it because someone was jealous and secretly sprayed pesticides in their fields?"

   "Isn't that impossible? Isn't it cheap to buy pesticides? This is a watermelon with more than ten acres of land." Who would have thought of using pesticides to be jealous?

   "The watermelon in their house has not been subjected to pesticides or fertilizers, so why are there pesticide residues? It's not reasonable at all?"

  Shi Lichun, Shi Liqiu and Shi Lidong felt anxious when they heard that the watermelons in their fields had pesticide residues.

  Gu Qingming finished reading, smiled and comforted, "Uncle, don't worry, just listen to Wenwen and finish."

Gao Wenwen smiled and continued, "Yes, uncle, uncle, uncle, uncle, you don't have to worry. You don't have professional technical guidance, it's already very good to grow watermelons to such an extent. Although there are pesticide residues on watermelons, But the concentration is very low.”

Then she explained, "You have not used pesticides, which does not mean that there are no pesticide residues. At present, my country's pesticide residue safety standard is 1ppm. What is this concept? That is to say, 1 gram of pesticide residues is allowed in every million grams. . Uncle, your watermelon residue is much lower than this standard. Only 0.3 grams in one million grams."

  Shi Lichun and the others listened and became even more confused.

   They don't understand, where did the pesticide residues come from in watermelons without pesticides?

   "Uncle, this pesticide residue may come from your application of farmyard manure!" Gao Wenwen guessed.

   "Ha, how come there are pesticides in our own farmyard manure?"

  The more they listened, the more confused they became.

   Third cousin Shi Yaoqing suddenly thought of the reason.

He said, "Ah, I understand. Although our family uses fermented farmyard fertilizers, these farmyard fertilizers are also reincarnated from whole grains and fermented straws. And these things have been treated with pesticides. . These pesticides also left a little bit on the watermelon."

   After hearing what Shi Yaoqing said, some people understood.

   But some villagers are even more confused.

   Such pesticides can still stay on watermelons?

   That pesticide is really like Xiaoqiang who can't be beaten to death.

  Gao Wenwen nodded and said with a smile, "The third brother is right. This is the reason, and the pesticide residues are not caused by pesticide residues during planting.

   The reason for this pesticide residue may be the planting environment, water source and nutrients.

  The previous organic product standard stipulated that pesticide residues in organic products should not exceed 5% of the limit set by the national food hygiene standard; the current regulation is that they should not be detected at all.

   That is to say, there should be no pesticide residues in organic watermelons!

   However, the green food pesticide residue standard is 0.01mg/kg, that is, 0.01 parts per million.

   Pollution-free green food is divided into AA. grade and A. grade.

  The main difference is that in the production process, AA. grade does not use any pesticides, chemical fertilizers and synthetic hormones; A. grade allows limited use of limited pesticides, chemical fertilizers and synthetic hormones.

  Uncle, your watermelon is AA. grade green food, and its price may be divided into two levels.

   Level 1, a watermelon with a relatively even and beautiful appearance, is based on the highest standard, the price of five yuan.

   Level 2, a watermelon that is too big or too small, because the sweetness has reached the price of three pieces. "

   Gao Wenwen's voice fell, and all the villagers were shocked.

  The standards that Gao Wenwen said earlier, they didn't understand at all.

   But the last two sentences, they heard clearly.

   "Wow, five yuan, three yuan! This... such a high price?"

   Everyone couldn't believe it.

  Because the watermelon has not been treated with pesticides, it can be purchased at such a high price.

   This is ten times the price of 50 cents per pound.

   How can this be so different?

  The villagers didn't understand, but they were all very excited.

  The watermelons of the three Shi Lichun brothers can be sold at high prices, so their watermelons will definitely be sold at high prices.

   The boss of Ms. Gao said that even if the watermelon is not up to standard, she will buy it at the normal price of 80 cents per pound.

   This is equivalent to a pie falling from the sky, who doesn’t want to pick it up.

  Shi Lichun's family was the most excited.

   They have grown so many watermelons and have never sold them for such a high price.

   It's like a dream to sell at such a high price now.

   Gao Wenwen said with a smile, "Uncle eldest, uncle 2, uncle 3, how many watermelons do you have in your fields? No matter how many, I'll wrap them up."

  Shi Lichun said excitedly, "Wenwen, are you really all right? You...do you want so much?"

   50,000 to 60,000 catties!

  There are other people's watermelons in the village, so many watermelons, can they sell them?

   Maybe you know what Uncle and others are worried about.

   Gao Wenwen said with a smile, "I need it." Most of the watermelons are sold abroad.

   "Okay, then should we pick it now or when?" Uncle asked.

   "Let's pick it now. Before I came, two big trucks were dispatched from the company, and they will arrive tonight. It's just that everyone may have to work overtime tonight!" Gao Wenwen said with a smile.

   "The car will arrive tonight. Good, good..." Uncle and others were excited.

   As for working overtime or overnight or something, it doesn't matter at all.

  The watermelon was sold at a high price, and I was so happy that I didn’t know what to do.

   Seeing that Gao Wenwen ordered Shi Lichun's watermelon at a high price, the other melon farmers suddenly started to move.

Shi Bangliang immediately walked up to Gao Wenwen and said, "Ms. Gao, my family also grows several acres of watermelons, and they can pick 20,000 to 30,000 catties. Can you go to my field to test the watermelons and see if those watermelons can be sold to you?"

   After talking to Gao Wenwen, he looked at Gu Qingming again and said with a smile, "My niece has eaten my watermelon."

  Gu Qingming nodded and said, "Well, uncle, your watermelon is really delicious!" Of course, it can't compare to her uncle's.

   Gao Wenwen and his party came to Shi Bangliang's watermelon field again.
