Chapter 336: Scared! Why Did Qinglin Villa Grow Watermelons? 3

These field engines were borrowed from the plantations signed by Qinglin Food Company.

It was naturally impossible for 20 people to develop 100 acres of land. How much time would that take?

In the modern era, farming still had to rely on machines. After using machines to open the field, the more than 20 people who were recruited were responsible for turning the ground evenly and then fertilizing it.

Then it would be fast.

In less than a day, a large area of land had been turned over and fertilized.

“Brother Qin, the embryos, roots, and axles of these seeds you chose are stronger than the other seeds.” Li Kai was in a flipped field, holding a large magnifying glass and observing the seeds in his hand.

It was a Quality 2 seed selected by Qin Lin.

This turned-over area was already separated from the others.

He planned to plant Quality 2 watermelons in a flipped field and Quality 1 watermelons in the other fields.

Moreover, other than a portion of the first batch of seeds being used to make melons, he planned to continue cultivating a large portion of them.

Since this Quality 1 watermelon was already the most delicious among ordinary watermelons, there was no reason not to plant it on a large scale.

What he lacked now was seeds.

Qin Lin placed a seed in his hand into the ground and covered it with soil.

When watermelons were sown, the soil could not be too tight. It had to be slightly loose.

Seeing Li Kai reach out to the Quality 2 seed again, he hurriedly said, “Brother Li, show some mercy. There aren’t many seeds picked out.”

“Um, cut two last ones,” Li Kai said awkwardly. Then he quickly grabbed two more Quality 2 seeds.

Around them, the employees were still operating the field engine for development. There were also employees turning over the fertile soil beside them. A few of them had also begun to sow the seeds of Quality 1.

The county naturally noticed that Qinglin Villa had developed 100 acres of land to plant watermelons.

After all, with the number of tourists in the villa now and the impact on Youcheng County, it was difficult not to pay attention.

Qinglin Villa contracted another 5,000 acres of land. Other than the ranch built, the county had always been curious about how to develop the remaining land. As soon as the villa made a move, the county knew.

Chen Li was called to Sun Xian’s office.

When Sun Xian saw him, he said, “Qinglin Villa has developed another 100 acres of land.”

“What new project is Boss Qin building again?” Chen Li asked in surprise. He had been busy with the food festival these past few days and did not pay attention to this matter.

Sun Xian shook his head and explained, “It’s not about developing any projects. Those 100 acres of land are going to be used to plant watermelons.”

“What?” Chen Li was stunned for a moment. “Why is it planting watermelons? That’s not right. Watermelon seeds are usually best sown in mid-March. It’s a little early now. Moreover, there’s no need for Qinglin Villa to plant 100 acres of watermelons now. Many watermelon farmers are willing to give them watermelons.”

Sun Xian nodded and said, “You’re right, so I guess this watermelon from Qinglin Villa might not be ordinary.”

Chen Li suddenly thought of something. He remembered hearing Qin Lin say something about the special watermelon at the villa. At that time, he did not notice it. Now that he heard Qinglin Villa’s actions, he was subconsciously shocked. “No way?”

If he guessed correctly, this could bring greater benefits to the county than the raw materials for the ketchup.

“What’s wrong?” Sun Xian immediately asked.

“Sun Xian, I’ll go to Qinglin Villa immediately to confirm something,” Chen Li said as he rushed out of the office, leaving Sun Xian in a daze.
