338 This Watermelon Is Heaven-Defying, Right? 40-Year-Old Wine!

Qin Lin explained, "There are no special requirements. Instead, the growth period is faster. If it's not used to cultivate seeds, it should ripen in 45 days."

"45 days?" Chen Li was immediately surprised.

It took more than 90 days for a normal watermelon to become a watermelon.

45 days was equivalent to half the time.

The greatest restriction of many agricultural products was the long growth period and the high risk period. Moreover, in order to ensure that the fruits grew well and full, fertilization, watering, weeding, and so on required a lot of labor.

If the growth cycle was only half, the risk period would decrease, and the other costs would also decrease greatly.

Chen Li suddenly thought of something. "Boss Qin, I remember that there was a piece of watermelon in your backyard that was planted outside in the middle of winter, right?"

Qin Lin nodded and said, "That's right. This new watermelon isn't afraid of the cold. It can be planted in winter without relying on greenhouse friends, and there's no season."

Chen Li was even more surprised.

Then the cost of planting such watermelons out of season would be even greater.

This watermelon was already more delicious. With these advantages, no watermelon breed could compare.

If this watermelon could be widely promoted, it could probably easily occupy the market for watermelons.

Moreover, this was a breed that the other watermelon companies were helpless against.

After all, there was no reason for farmers and plantation owners to plant other watermelons instead of this kind of watermelon, right?

"Boss Qin, is there a way to plant this watermelon on a large scale in the entire county?" Chen Li finally asked the question he was most concerned about.

Qin Lin understood what Chen Li meant and explained, "There's no problem with planting on a large scale. What we lack now is seeds. We still need to cultivate more seeds. In addition, there's the problem of funds. It takes a large sum of money to promote the entire county to contract the land alone. In addition, we don't know how much the labor and materials will cost."

Qinglin Villa and Qinglin Food Company were already developing very well. The outside world's valuation of Qinglin Villa was already very high.

However, at this stage, Qinglin Food Company was still in the stage of returning the money. They could only repay the county's guidance fund next month when the settlement was done. After that, there was a new factory plan, so they could not reserve too much money in a short period of time.

The cost of the restaurant, rafting, and bridal chamber project in Qinglin Villa would be deducted, and the profits would also have to be repaid to the county's support fund.

Other than the investment in other construction projects and labor costs, there was only about 25 million yuan in the villa's account.

In a short period of time, there were more than 25 million liquid funds. It was a very benign development for Qinglin Villa, which was developing and paying bills.

However, if the entire county were to plant Qinglin Watermelons, this money would not even be enough to contract land.

Therefore, this had to be taken slowly.

"Boss Qin, if you solve the seed problem, please consider planting on a large scale in the entire county. As for the problem of funds, the county can still help you solve a portion." Chen Li clearly knew how much it cost to plant this new watermelon on a large scale.

However, he could not give too much promise with his position. He could only go back and discuss it with Sun Xian.

Therefore, after chatting with Qin Lin for a while, he bade farewell and rushed back to the county.

As soon as he arrived in the county, he went to Sun Xian's office.

Sun Xian was looking at the information on the tomato plantations. The plantations that had signed contracts with Qinglin Food Company had already begun planting.

The information in his hand was about the progress of various planting gardens, recruitment, salary arrangements, and so on.

After all, the county had approved support funds for these plantations. They had to pay attention.

If something went wrong with a welfare project that promoted people's livelihood, it would go against the county's original intention.

When he saw Chen Li enter, Sun Xian handed him the information. "Take a look at the information on this kind of plantation. Every plantation has started work. As new employees are recruited, the various towns can also solve some employment problems. This is a good thing."

Chen Li took the information and hurriedly said, "Sun Xian, we might have something even better. There's something good at Qinglin Villa."

"Watermelon?" Sun Xian immediately guessed.

It was already abnormal for Qinglin Villa to develop 100 acres of land to plant watermelons. Chen Li had rushed out previously. He was not stupid.

Chen Li immediately nodded and said, "Yes, it's a watermelon, but it's not an ordinary watermelon. Boss Qin cultivated those special watermelons in Qinglin Villa himself. His 100 acres of land are now planted with such watermelons."

"Boss Qin cultivated it himself?" Sun Xian subconsciously stood up when he heard this.

He naturally knew about the special watermelons in Qinglin Villa. After all, they had to have some understanding of these products.

The county had already gotten someone to buy it. All the county leaders, including him, had tasted it.

That special watermelon was indeed very delicious. Even the ordinary watermelons on the market could not compare.

However, no one in the county had thought that Qinglin Villa had cultivated it themselves.

How could he not be surprised to hear this news now?

Moreover, he instantly realized the value of this and asked anxiously, "This watermelon can be planted on a large scale?"

Chen Li replied, "Sun Xian, not only can Boss Qin's watermelons be planted on a large scale, but it only takes 45 days for them to grow into watermelons normally. The time is halved. The key is that we can not rely on the greenhouse to plant them in the middle of winter. There's no season restriction."

"Is this true?" Sun Xian could not believe it when he heard this.

No matter what product it was, it would definitely be terrifying if the growth period was halved and there was no season. If this taste was even more delicious, it would be heaven-defying.

Chen Li said with certainty, "Sun Xian, Boss Qin said it himself. He has no reason to lie. Moreover, I saw it with my own eyes that there's no need to plant it in winter. Furthermore, without these advantages, we've all tasted that watermelon. It's even more delicious than ordinary watermelons."

"The biggest problem now is the lack of watermelon seeds and Boss Qin's funds. The seeds should be solved soon if we develop 100 acres now, but we have to plant and promote them on a large scale. Boss Qin doesn't have enough funds. In the end, is anyone else paying attention to this matter? Ning City and Tian City have a greater agricultural planting advantage than us."

When Sun Xian heard this, he said decisively, "Inform the others that the county is holding a meeting immediately."

Chen Li was right. Regardless of whether the other advantages were true or not, just the taste and the fact that they did not need a greenhouse to plant them in winter was enough.

…

In Qinglin Villa.

After Qin Lin planted the few Quality 2 seeds, he followed Li Kai back to the original hall.

In the afternoon.

When Master Lin was preparing a good meal, Li Qing returned from the winery. "That batch of Xiangshui Tribute Rice is fermented well. Qin Lin, believe me, just from the fermented fragrance, I'm sure this is good wine."

"Old Li, I believe in your skills," Qin Lin replied with a smile. Then, he thought of something and suddenly said to Li Kai, "Speaking of wine, Brother Li, I'll treat you to good wine at noon."

With that, he turned and left the hall, heading for his office.

Naturally, he thought of the laboratory. He should prepare for the laboratory first. In the beginning, he did not need the laboratory to be very big. A shelf would do.

However, he did not understand these things and did not have a researcher he could trust. Now, he just had to see if he could tempt Li Kai to come to his laboratory. At noon, he would first get a bottle of 40-year-old Qinglin Medicine Wine to scout the way.

There were so many good things in the game. He did not believe that he could not handle Li Kai.

Qin Lin had just left the hall when Li Qing reacted. "Uncle, that's not right. I was the one who worked hard to make the wine. Why did he say that he would treat you to good wine? Don't I get a share?"

However, Li Kai said seriously, "Who asked me to have a better relationship with Brother Qin? Didn't you see that he brought the Vitality Wine back for me?"

Li Qing disagreed. "That's because you happened to be here. If I was there instead, he would have taken out the Vitality Wine too."

Li Kai asked, "Then why did he just say it was my treat and not yours? My guess is that the wine at noon is better than any you've had before."

"I don't believe it." Li Qing actually felt inexplicably uncomfortable. "I guess when Qin Lin said he would treat you to wine, it must be medicinal wine for hemorrhoids. Only you need this wine. I don't need it. Why should I fight with a sick person like you?"

Li Kai was dissatisfied. "Li Qing, you're very jealous. You actually attacked your uncle personally."

Although the two of them argued with each other, it was obvious that they were still looking forward to the wine Qin Lin mentioned.
