Manor Romance

Chapter 140 Strawberry Picking

Seeing Huang Yunjuan again, Xu Lin was very excited, and made a confession to her face to face, promising to pay for Xu Jiajin's medical expenses, and he would find a way to solve the living expenses of their mother and child, but Huang Yunjuan didn't want to take him. In this situation, as long as the medical expenses can be settled, they can be self-reliant in life.

After the meeting, the mentality of the two people has changed, and they have reached a certain tacit understanding. Now the most important thing is to cure Xu Jiajin, and other grievances can be put aside first. Under the persuasion of Xu Ping and his wife, Huang Yunjuan also agreed to meet. Talk to the siblings about this and see if they are willing to meet. If they are willing, she will not do much to stop them.

Xu Xiangjiao also told Yunli that she and Xu Jiali secretly met and knew her true thoughts. She didn't hate Xu Lin anymore. As long as he paid for her younger brother's medical expenses, she still recognized Xu Lin as her father and would help persuade her mother Let go of the past, their broken home will still have the hope of being reunited.

Xu Lin didn't affect his work because of this incident, and he was still diligent and organized the things at hand in an orderly manner. He knew that even if he deducted all his monthly salary, it would not be worth the expensive medical expenses. When he is free, he returns to his old business, picking up the carpenter's tools he used to buy, and buying materials to make all kinds of small furniture for sale, as much as he can earn.

Yunli and Lu Ci went to the United Hospital for reexamination, and they also stopped by to see them. Xu Jiajin has now moved into a bed in the ward and looks good. Both Huang Yunjuan and Xu Jiali know that Yunli is the owner of the manor, and Xu Jiajin's medical expenses are actually He paid in advance, so I am very grateful to him.

Lu Ci was found to be in no serious condition after being checked, so she could be freed from Yunli's restraint and regain her "free body".After strawberry plants bloom, the process of fruit growth and ripening is very fast, especially in the environment of Jifang Garden, this process is shorter than other professional greenhouses, and the first batch of harvest is approaching.

Mingyi Hotel finally sent a purchase plan. They will buy all these Phnom Penh beauties and ask the manor to supply them every other day every week. They are planning to do a tourism week event, and this batch of strawberries is one of the protagonists. , this activity is only carried out in two stores in the city center, so there is not much difficulty in transportation.

Today is the first harvest, and everyone attaches great importance to it. The harvest time is selected in the early morning. All the employees in the manor are full of energy tonight, holding various tools and starting to collect the first harvest after the completion of Fangyuan. .Even Gu Ling heard the news, and rushed over overnight to have a look. After hearing Yunli's introduction, she was full of anticipation to taste the beauty of Phnom Penh, and joined the harvesting team with tools.

Phnom Penh Hongyan inherits the advantages of the two varieties of Jinberry and Hongyan. The fruit looks uniform and elegant, bright red and full of aroma. There is a circle of light yellow stripes on the flower base, which is its unique symbol. He was full of praise for this Phnom Penh beauty, and Gu Yixin, who had been coveting them for a long time, even picked one and ate one after another, filling his belly and belching, which made everyone laugh.

However, his contribution to Jifang Garden is not small. He recently transformed the cart frame in the park, installed electric motors and batteries, and replaced the original manual rocker with a driving rod. People standing on it can shake it. Using the driving stick to instruct the frame to move and stop is much less troublesome than manual use before, and the efficiency is also improved a lot.

Yunli estimated that among the [-] strawberries in the park, the first batch of strawberries that can be picked is about [-] catties, and each strawberry weighs about half a tael, which means that each plant has two mature strawberries that can pick.Since Phnom Penh Hongyan has inherited the characteristics of many stalks, fast fruiting, and frequent flowering of the golden berry variety, the second batch of Phnom Penh Hongyan will soon mature again, so the picking is arranged reasonably and the hotel will supply it every other day. Requirements can be met.

For this harvest, Yunli specially asked someone to buy a batch of bamboo baskets specially used to hold the fruits. Each basket is not big, and there are several layers in the middle. Each layer is covered with hay before putting the fruits in. It takes a lot of protection. Do enough to ensure that they are all intact when they are delivered to Mingyi Hotel.

The first batch only picked a thousand catties, and everyone picked the brightest red and most fragrant fruits. With the cooperation of all, the work was successfully completed in less than an hour, and the truck was loaded by Huang Li. He and Qiangzi were transported overnight to the headquarters of Mingyi Hotel.

After the work is done, everyone leaves. The night shift is included in the work schedule, so they don't have to come so early tomorrow. They can have a good sleep tonight. They have to repeat the work in two days.

Soon, only Yunli, Lu Ci, and Gu Ling were left in the park. Lu Ci wanted to record data on the plants for future analysis and comparison. This kind of data is very valuable for reference, while Yunli and Gu Ling stood side by side, discussing something.

"I declare in advance that my fees are not cheap, and you know my taste. You can make whatever you want in the final design. You can raise your opinions, but it's my business whether you listen to it or not. Don't come out with the design drawings at that time. If you want to change If this needs to be changed, then I won't be annoyed to death." After hearing Yunli's request, Gu Lingqiao raised his hand and declared.

"Um, it's okay to mention one or two. The most important thing is that the space should be large, so that it doesn't collapse when the wind blows. It must be firm." Yunli said seriously.

Gu Ling seemed a little dissatisfied with Yunli's doubts, rolled his eyes impatiently, and said seriously: "Don't worry, it's not the first time we have taken on this kind of architectural design, and the engineering structure will naturally be evaluated by professionals. A collapse pays ten, but major natural disasters are not included, and sometimes people are not as good as God, you know."

"Then please, I will give you the topographical drawings and other materials tomorrow, as soon as possible, I still have some other projects to do here, and I will be very busy then." Yun Li said helplessly.

"Sister Gu Ling, let's make it cheaper for us. I'll make you a gold card for Jifangyuan. You can enjoy the strawberries here, but they are only for eating now and cannot be taken away." Lu Ci knew what the two were discussing, and put After finishing the work, he leaned over and said with a smile.

"It's worth considering, but there's something to say, I'm not flattering, these are the best strawberries I've ever eaten, not to mention eating them, even putting them in the palm of your hand, smelling the bursts of fruity fragrance is also a pleasure How much do you sell it to the hotel?" Gu Ling agreed with Lu Ci's proposal, and asked about the price of this batch of strawberries.

"The specific price has not yet been determined. After all, this is a new variety. There is no place to refer to in the market. The hotel will determine the final price according to the event situation and the popularity of strawberries. As for how much it can reach in the end, I guess it will It should be higher than the high-quality red strawberries on the market." Yunli explained.

"It's not just higher. Take the supermarket near my house as an example. The best quality strawberries cost 40 yuan a catty in a box. The price is more expensive in non-peak seasons, but the quality is still far worse than your Phnom Penh beauty. It's not an exaggeration for me to say that your asking price is seventy or eighty, this Phnom Penh beauty has already surpassed the category of agricultural products, and can be called a work of art." Gu Ling rarely said exaggerated words, but he did not hesitate to praise this batch of strawberries It can be seen that they do have this charm, which made both Yunli and Lu Ci feel very happy.

"Seventy or eighty is impossible, but I believe the hotel will give a reasonable price. After all, we have cooperated for so long. This is not a one-off deal. In the future, there will be many places where we can cooperate. They will know how to measure " Yunli believed in himself, his confidence came from his trust in Mingyi Hotel on the one hand, and his pride in the products of his manor on the other.

"In my opinion, your decision to build a new Jifang Garden is correct. Since you have the cultivation technology, you can build a few more. You might as well grow strawberries exclusively. No way! There must be more varieties of other varieties, otherwise I It's not enough to just eat strawberries in the future, I take this back, and you don't hear it." Gu Ling stopped in the middle of his words, feeling that something was wrong, so he quickly made up for it, making both Yunli and Lu Ci laugh.

"Of course it's okay to build more buildings, but you have to design them, Gu Lingjie. According to your temperament, you won't make every building the same. This is a lot of work." Lu Ci said with a smile.

"You still understand me, this Xinjifang Garden of yours, I have to think about it when I go back, but think about it, in the future I can eat strawberries grown in the buildings I designed, this feeling is not ordinary. "Gu Lingyao thought, it's getting late, she's going to stay here tonight, she can talk to Yun Li about related matters.

Yunli plans to build another Jifang Garden, which will be built next to the current Jifang Garden. There is enough space in the long gully at the junction of Xiaolu Mountain and Dalu Mountain. In terms of design, Yunli does not intend to continue to use the existing one. Instead, they asked Gu Ling, a designer, to create a new one. The space would be larger than the current one, and the appearance would be more artistic. It would look good as a landscape in the future. They were discussing this just now.

In fact, Yunli has long planned to increase the hydroponic garden, but the capital required to build a Jifang garden is quite huge, and other projects cannot be delayed, so they can only be put on hold until now.

Recently, I have started to supply products to the other three branches, and the income has greatly increased, and the first batch of strawberries can also be harvested one after another, which is expected to bring considerable income. Now that the funds are sufficient, it is a good time to make a big difference.

In addition to the Jifang Garden and the belt-shaped forest land, there is another major project in the manor that is about to start, which is the rectification of the road network. Now that the development of Xiaolu Mountain has been completed, the entire southeastern part of Dalu Mountain can be put into use. It is time to systematically organize these areas. Connect them and build a passage leading to Banlu Mountain, laying the foundation for future development.

The road is still paved with lime ballast, which is economical. As for the location of the entrance to the mountain, it is chosen in the valley at the junction of the three mountains. Two roads are divided around the edge of the valley, leading to the south and north of Banlu Mountain.
