Chapter 508: Sending Strawberries

Because there are many people, in addition to those who spend money to ask for help, there are also several who are not fun to keep at home and are purely here to help, so the vegetables that are expected to be collected until four or five o'clock in the afternoon were collected in just three hours, and they are still a little more than a little.

When I finished work, someone asked Wu Fei: "Xiaofei, can you eat the strawberries you grow in? I just looked outside and looked at them, and it seemed to be red."

Wu Fei said to everyone who was about to leave: "Strawberries are ready to be eaten. The boss who bought vegetables tomorrow will bring someone to buy strawberries, and Uncle Wencai will also buy a batch of strawberries later. If you have nothing to do in the afternoon, you still need everyone to help."

Zhou Jingqiang said: "Strawberries should be very expensive now. I heard that strawberries cost 30 or 40 yuan per catty. How many people can afford such expensive things?"

"Uncle Jing Qiang, people are different now than before. There are still many people who buy strawberries, durians, and cherries that cost tens of dollars per pound."

Someone said directly: "Xiaofei, how much does strawberries cost per pound now? I will buy some and try the taste. I originally planned to go out in the next few days, and I have eaten all the fruits at home."

"I'll buy some back too, and everyone is at home at this time."

With a meal at the beginning, several people immediately asked the price and planned to buy some strawberries to go back.

"Today we are all helping to collect the vegetables. This time we will give the strawberries to everyone to taste. If they are delicious, come and buy them next time. We will also help pick strawberries later."

Wu Fei said to everyone: "The strawberries outside are now sold for 35 yuan per pound, but don't be considered so expensive when sold to everyone. Just calculate the wholesale price for everyone, 25 yuan per pound. But this price is only for the people in our own village. Everyone still says 35 yuan per pound to people outside."

"Come on, everyone will take a box each. It depends on yours." Wu Fei took out a cardboard box from the greenhouse where the strawberry planting was just brought by Wu Fei. It was the box used to pack strawberries.

Because it needs to be loaded and transported to the county town, Wu Fei bought a lot of plastic boxes specially used for strawberries very early.

It is the kind of hard plastic we usually see when we buy strawberries in the mall. There are big and small ones. A box of large can hold about one pound of strawberries, and a small one can hold about half a pound.

However, more than 80% of the plastic boxes Wu Fei bought were big, and he bought a total of 10,000. He only bought 2,000 of them.

In fact, Wu Fei thought that the one that holds one pound is a little smaller, and it is best to hold two pounds. Unfortunately, there is no such thing that holds two pounds in the packaging. However, he said that he would prepare a batch for Wu Fei next time, and Wu Fei also specially put a deposit of 1,000 yuan there.

But it means that you can only hold one pound of strawberries, but if you have to fill it up a little, don’t cover it tightly, you can also fill it with one and a half pounds.

Wu Fei directly lifted the greenhouse behind him and said to everyone: "Everyone has picked it in this greenhouse. They have chosen the ones that have been cooked. If they are not cooked, they will taste very sour when picked."

This greenhouse is made of flannel strawberries. Like the strawberries in other greenhouses, many of them are almost ripe, and some of them are already 80% ripe.

Whether such strawberries are picked immediately or picked and loaded with trucks, it is the right time to transport such strawberries. If they are a little more cooked, they will not be very suitable for transportation.

Wu Dingyun picked a strawberry and took a bite: "It looks ripe, but it still tastes a bit sour."

Wu Dingyun was present in several greenhouses with strawberries every time they watered and fertilized. He also knew that the strawberries in the greenhouse had only been watered twice in the past twenty days. The fertilizer was added a little to the water when the first time they were watered. When the last time they were watered, they did not even add fertilizer. As for pesticides, they were used once since the strawberries were planted until now, that is, when strawberries just started to form buds.

From the time the strawberries bloomed to the present, I have never used pesticides during this period. Besides, there is no dust in the greenhouse and there is a mulch film underneath, so every strawberry is clean.

Wu Dingyun blew with his mouth when eating, which was just a habit of movement.

Wu Dingyun stopped eating one after eating: "I don't know why so many people like to eat such sour things. My granddaughter likes to eat these things, such as sour and spicy, and you can eat as much as you can."

However, except for Wu Dingyun and a few older people who said it was sour, other younger people said it was delicious, sweet, crispy and with a little sour taste, and the taste was particularly good.

It is said that it is much better than the strawberries I have eaten outside, and several people took a few boxes from Wu Fei and planned to buy some more back.

In fact, the flannel strawberries themselves have a little sour taste, and even after they are fully ripe, they will still have a little sour taste.

Older people have a little aging teeth, and they can feel even a little sour taste, but it is different for young people. Many people still like that taste, which is too sweet and not used to eating.

When everyone finished the show, in addition to sending out 16 boxes of strawberries, they also sold 10 boxes of strawberries.

Yes, there were 16 people who came to help in the morning. At this time, there were too many idle people in the village. According to the situation in previous years, at this time, most of the people who went out to work were ready to leave, and some people who went out early were even on the fifth and sixth day of the lunar month.

Except for those who work on the construction site who go out later, the rest are almost gone around the tenth day of the lunar month. Unlike this year, now, no one is out and they all stay at home.

So this time, Wu Fei's family called for someone to collect vegetables. In addition to those who often came to help before the New Year, many people who were idle at home and had nothing to do came to join in the fun. They planned to collect vegetables in one day, and it took only half a day to collect them.

Now there are even people picking strawberries. Everyone promised to come and help after going home for dinner. Several people even said they would help and call a few more people.

Wu Fei naturally wanted to do such a thing, and he finished it earlier. However, I don’t know how many strawberries Wu Wenan plans to ask for. When he helped collect vegetables in the morning, a bunch of people were together, and some things were not easy to discuss.

But for the time being, the collection of vegetables has been completed. Now we are waiting for Ma Yanwen and Xiao Jinsong to come down and transport the vegetables away.
