At noon, the people who went back to eat came back in just over half an hour. Wu Fei distributed the plastic box containing strawberries to everyone and told everyone how to pick and what kind of strawberries they wanted to pick.

Of course, Wu Wen'an was busy all the time. As long as he found that there was one that he couldn't pick, he immediately went over and told others what to do. It was even more attentive than Wu Feilai.

But he should be careful. Anyway, as long as the strawberries picked now are sold to him later. If he picks the bad ones, he will suffer the loss.

In fact, there are no bad strawberries in Wu Fei’s greenhouse, they are all good products. However, the strawberries are picked now and cannot be sold immediately. As soon as possible, they will be tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

Therefore, those too ripe strawberries are not suitable for packing into boxes. The best one is the 70 to 80% ripe strawberries. Picking them will not affect the taste, but will also be conducive to storage and transportation.

Wu Wen'an said: "When you see the strawberries that are almost ripe, you pick them out and put them in another basket. After picking them, you will eat them by yourself. If you put them in the box, they will rot after a longer time."

Of course, all the ripe ones are divided and eaten, which is just a joke. Wu Wen'an needs a total of 2,000 kilograms of strawberries, and after picking them, there are at least dozens or hundreds of kilograms of ripe strawberries. Even if you give some of these who help pick strawberries, you cannot divide them all.

Based on the average of 20 yuan per pound, 100 pounds of strawberries is also 2,000 yuan. You can pay the wages for asking someone to help this time.

In fact, these ripe strawberries are much better now than those that are only 70% or 80% ripe, but they have not been stored for so long.

Moreover, Wu Wen'an will still take away these ripe strawberries. Now, this is just to prevent everyone from being lazy and mixing the ripe strawberries with those 70% or 80% ripe strawberries.

In fact, in addition to being sold as fruits on the market, strawberries can also be used to process fruit wine, juice drinks, jams, jelly, etc.

In addition to these, strawberries can also be used to make canned strawberries.

However, depending on the use of strawberries, the timing and requirements for picking are different.

For example, strawberries used for canning, the strawberries must be the same size and cannot be too ripe. It is best to pick them when they are 70% to 80% ripe. The strawberries picked at this time have relatively hard meat and bright colors, and can be stored for a relatively long time. They are also suitable for long-distance transportation.

Strawberries used to process fruit wine and drinks and jams cannot be picked when they are 70 or 80 years old, and they have to wait until the strawberries are fully ripe.

The sugar and aroma of the fully ripe strawberries have reached the highest level of fruits, which cost a lot of juice and are easy to process.

Before picking strawberries, the most important thing is to contact the sales arrangements and transportation of strawberries. However, for Wu Fei, there is no need to worry about these things for the time being. Anyway, others come to him.

For example, some strawberry bases with many plantings, strawberry pickers must undergo special training to prepare containers for picking strawberries.

The containers of strawberries are generally not very large, and the large packages are usually covered with small packages. Generally, a large package of strawberries is only 20 kilograms to 30 kilograms.

Like the packaging prepared by Wu Fei this time, it is the foam box used outside. One foam box can hold 30 small plastic boxes, and a box of strawberries is about 30 kilograms.

Picking strawberries is actually a time-consuming and laborious task. When picking, you need to take it lightly, pick it lightly, and put it lightly. You can only hold the fruit shank, use your thumb and index finger to break the fruit shank, and pick it off together with the fruit shank.

Moreover, the fruit stalks that are left should not be too long, and it is best to be about 2 cm. When picking, avoid hard picking and hard pulling, so as not to damage the flower stems, and do not damage the strawberries.

Moreover, when picking strawberries, you should also pay attention to the strawberries, remove the strawberries with pests, deformed strawberries and scarred strawberries separately, and do not mix them into those good strawberries.

Otherwise, a piece of mouse poop would ruin a pot of soup, a box of strawberries would rot one or two strawberries, and almost half of the whole box of strawberries would not be needed.

And when picking strawberries, many strawberry sites are picked in grades, and they are usually graded while picking, so that there is no need to divide them again after the picking is completed and the container is changed.

There are currently no legal standards for grading strawberries, but according to market standards, strawberries are generally divided into four levels according to their weight.

A single fruit weighing more than 20 grams is a special grade, 15 grams is a first-class fruit, 10~14.5 grams is a second-class fruit, and 5~9.5 grams is a third-class fruit. Fruits below 5 grams have no economic value, are waste fruits or have no effect.

Some fruit processing factories propose that from the perspective of strawberry processing, the single fruit of the first-class fruit weighs more than 10 grams, the second-class fruit is 6 to 9 grams, and the third-class fruit is less than 5 grams. Because if you want to make juice or jam, it will need to be broken in the end anyway, and the relationship between size is not particularly important.

However, most of the strawberries grown by Wu Fei are around 50 grams. If divided according to market standards, they are all super fruits.

Such things may not be seen in other places except Wu Fei. However, except for Wu Wen'an, who knows the strawberry market, other people who help me just think that the strawberries grown by Wu Fei's home are good and taste good, so I don't think anything else is strange.

At around 5 o'clock in the afternoon, there were only about 200 packs left by Wu Fei. After looking at the time, it was time to finish work. Wu Fei helped Wu Wen'an put all the strawberries onto the small truck driven by Wu Wen'an, which cost a total of more than 3,800 yuan.

Among them, Faraday strawberries were picked in total, with 1,150 kilograms, and Zhangji strawberry boxes, each of the 400 kilograms of Hongyan strawberries, totaling more than 900 kilograms, and finally it was 3,800 yuan.

As for those ripe strawberries, everyone will give you a box as long as they arrive in the afternoon, which is also a little thank you to everyone for helping.

In the afternoon, about 20 people picked strawberries. On average, only one person picked almost 100 boxes.

In this way, if someone really asks someone to pick strawberries, the salary for picking a box of strawberries will be almost six or seven cents.

However, compared with the wholesale price of nearly 20 yuan per pound, this cost is acceptable. However, when the price is cheap, the wholesale price of strawberry vegetables is a few yuan per pound, and there will be no profit at that time.

However, today, in addition to Wu Wen'an who bought strawberries worth more than 38,000 yuan, there were also many people in the village who came to buy strawberries, one box of the few, and four or five boxes of the more, and many were sold out in pieces.
