This is the first time I’ve seen the old man in such a long life!”
The old village chief was so blinded by the golden light of the strawberry that he asked in surprise.
"This is my first time seeing you too."
Lin Zheng thought to himself, then picked another strawberry and handed it to the old village chief.
"This thing must be very expensive. It would be a waste for this old man to eat it."
Although the old village chief wanted to try it, he was too embarrassed to pick it up.
"What's the waste? Come try it and see if it tastes good."
Lin Zheng put the strawberry into the old village chief's hand.
Then I walked into the orchard and took a look. The ripe strawberries were all very big and the yield was very high. Everywhere I looked, there was a scene of abundant fruits.
Strawberries of this quality, and such a rare variety, can be sold for hundreds of yuan per pound, which is not too much.
Compared with some precious foreign imported fruits, it is quite cheap.
Of course, Lin Zheng still has to investigate and decide how much to sell for.
“I don’t know if this kind of strawberry can be grown on other lands in Wu Village?”
Lin Zheng suddenly thought of this.
If it is really suitable for planting, wouldn't it give Wucun a way to make a fortune.
"Old village chief, you can transplant some strawberries later and plant them in your field to see if they survive."
Lin Zheng ran to the old village chief and said.
"Boss Lin, do you mean to give this precious strawberry variety to our Wu Village?"
the old village chief asked excitedly.
Lin Zheng nodded and said: "If it can be planted in Wu Village, it will also open up a way for young and old men to make money, and everyone's life will be better.
However, this golden strawberry is too special and was cultivated through a special method, so I am not sure whether it is suitable for planting.
But even if strawberries don’t work, we still have apples. We will cultivate some apple saplings later and try to plant them.”
"Oh, you are really a great benefactor to our Wu Village. You not only think about the children, but also consider the livelihood of everyone. You are really a kind person.
Boss Lin, I would like to thank you on behalf of the young and old men in Wu Village."
The old village chief said gratefully.
"You're welcome. I built the orchard in our Wuyin Mountain, and we are one family with the young and old men in Wuyin Village. I will have to rely on your help in the future."
Lin Zheng said in greeting.
"Boss Lin, don't worry, I don't dare to say anything else. In this one-third of an acre of land in Wu Village, the old man's words still have some authority.
If anything happens in the future, just speak up."
The old village chief said.
"Then I would like to thank the old village chief first.
By the way, old village chief, no one is taking care of my orchard right now. If you have the time and energy, I would ask you to take care of it. I will pay you a salary in the future, so I can’t let your time go to waste."
Lin Zheng said.
When the old village chief heard this, he quickly waved his hands and said: "Where can I ask for salary?
Boss Lin, I know you do it for my own good, but I can’t ask for your money.
You have helped us a lot.
Those in our village who have been helped by you are grateful for your kindness."
"Some trivial things are not worthy of everyone's treatment."
Lin Zheng waved his hand, and then said sincerely: "Old village chief, if you don't get paid, I will be embarrassed to ask you to help me in the future.
Besides, my strawberries and apples are of very high value, so if I give you some salary, it’s nothing at all.
Just take it with ease."
"This... old man just takes advantage of you."
The old village chief finally agreed.
In fact, this orchard does not require weeding or anything like that. Lin Zheng can do it with just one click through the system.
The reason why we spend some money to hire the old village chief to help take care of the orchard is that the old village chief is the most respected person in Wu Village. With this old man in charge, others will not dare to covet the orchard, let alone cause damage.
Furthermore, Lin Zheng also wanted to help the elderly man.
Although the old village chief is an official in the village, his family conditions are also very tight. The children in the family all work outside in order to make a living. Some of the children in the family are in college, high school, and elementary school. His wife still works every day.
If you want to take medicine, you have to spend money everywhere.
Giving the elderly a stable income now can also make them live more comfortably in their later years.
After walking around the orchard, Lin Zheng called out the system's orchard page, then clicked one button to harvest. All the ripe strawberries were picked instantly and stored in the system's locker.
The system locker is a vacuum environment, has no bacteria, will not rot, and can also keep freshness and original flavor. It can be stored for a long time. It can be said to be a perfect fruit warehouse.
Lin Zheng estimated that the total harvest of golden strawberries in this wave was about one thousand kilograms.
If calculated at 100 yuan per pound, that would be 100,000 yuan, and this is only the first harvest.
Generally, the minimum yield of strawberries can reach 1,000 kilograms per mu and upwards. Even based on this minimum yield, Lin Zheng's fifteen acres of strawberries grown here will be able to harvest 15,000 kilograms, which is 1.5 million.
For Lin Zheng now, the money is not much, but the orchards are almost free of charge unless they are accelerated to grow like this time.
If the Buddha nature is cultivated, it will be pure income and a huge profit.
What's more important is that the orchard, which is only thirty acres of land, will generate even more income if the orchard is expanded in the future.
So the rewards for this mission are still very tasty.
After harvesting the strawberries, Lin Zheng looked at the apples again. The fruits were still very small and needed some time to grow.
But judging from the situation of strawberries, the taste of this apple will definitely be different.
Lin Zheng entrusted the orchard to the old village chief to take care of him. Lin Zheng left the old village chief a month's salary of 5,000 yuan in advance and returned home.
The old village chief was frightened by so much money. He had lived his whole life and never thought that he could still earn a salary of 5,000 yuan a month when he was old. None of his children working in other places had that much.
The old man was a little uneasy with the money. He also thought that when Lin Zheng comes back next time, he would give back part of the money. One or two thousand yuan would be a lot.
Back in the city, Lin Zheng drove directly to Miaoshou Hotpot.
"Boss, why are you here?"
Sister Bing asked with a smile.
"Naughty!"
Lin Zheng knew that Sister Bing was joking with him, so he pointed at her, then mysteriously approached her and said, "Go to your office and give you something delicious."
"What? It's mysterious."
Xu Bing said this, but he led Lin Zheng to the office without stopping.
Arriving at the office, Lin Zheng closed the door and asked Xu Bing to close his eyes.
"What on earth is it?
Don't scare me."
Xu Bing thought Lin Zheng was going to play a prank.
Lin Zheng took out a golden strawberry, put it in front of Sister Bing's nose, and asked, "Smell it, what does it smell like?"
"Milk flavor, is it cake?"
Sister Bing guessed.
"No, guess again."
Lin Zhengdao.
"Let me have a taste."
Sister Bing is also smart and said with a naughty smile.
"Okay, I'll let you have a taste."
Lin Zheng brought the strawberry to Xu Bing's cherry mouth. Xu Bing opened his mouth and took a small bite, and then he couldn't help but open his eyes in surprise.
