Chapter 11 Harvesting Strawberries

The seeds Quyi bought online arrived, and the strawberries in the field were ripe.

This piece of black land is amazing. When planting strawberries, she didn't choose the seeds, didn't transplant the seedlings, didn't prevent diseases and insect pests, and didn't water them, yet it survived and lived very well.It took 4 months in space and time, and achieved great results.

During the planting of strawberries, Jiang Zhi thought that there is no wind or insects in the space, and the flowers cannot pollinate themselves.Afraid that it would only bloom but not bear fruit, so he went to the edge of their building area, a foreigner who kept bees and sold honey all the year round, bought a box of bees and put them in the space.After raising bees, there must be honey in the end, so he got another set of honey shaker back.

Honey is a good thing. Drinking it often can beautify the skin, improve health and longevity, and can also treat some geriatric diseases, such as high blood pressure. You should prepare some for the four elderly people in the two families. The benefits are great.It's just that Quyi was a little afraid of those small, aggressive flying insects, but for the sake of her family, she endured it.

After the strawberries were ripe, honey also harvested two cans, and Quyi planned to honor them to her parents and in-laws.

When Jiang Zhi was buying seeds, the salesperson introduced many varieties to him, including Japanese Hongfeng, Xuemi, Chunmi, Meiwang No. [-], Darth Lecter, etc. Jiang Zhi couldn't remember all of them.People asked him which one to buy, and he said, "Buy the best one." So they gave him this Das-Lecter variety. See the introduction of Quyi, it is a French product.

The strawberries she grows are very delicious, the fruit is dark red, and the flesh is also red, and each one (meaning each) is juicy and thick.She doesn't know how to describe the taste, but she thinks it tastes like strawberries.The crooked strawberries sold outside are not comparable to the ones she grows, they are not of the same grade.She can eat more than a catty at a time by herself.Hanhan also loves to eat. I ate the big strawberries planted by my mother, and I said that I will eat this kind of strawberries in the future, and the little emperor also issued an imperial decree, asking his mother to buy more tomorrow, and he will take them to the kindergarten for his good friends. Tian Tian eats.Qu Yi obeyed the little emperor's decree, and brought him a large box of strawberries the next day, asking him to establish long-term friendly relationships with the kindergarten children.As for Jiang Zhi, she ate every one she fed and never refused.

Each strawberry seedling bears a lot of fruit, which bends the branches. Quyi estimated that each strawberry probably bears a pound of fruit. She has planted thousands of seedlings in the whole land. Think how huge this harvest is.

When picking strawberries, she left about a hundred seedlings unpicked. She wanted to save the seeds, and she harvested the others little by little.

Because she has no experience, at the beginning, she planned to pack strawberries in plastic bags, and after filling a bag, throw it in a storage ring, which is convenient and fast.Just after picking the first bag, she discovered the problem. It is not suitable to pack strawberries in plastic bags, especially if they are full. Many strawberries on the side are crushed and cannot be eaten. waste.Quyi reported this situation to the superiors. Comrade Jiang Zhi thought about it and went out to get a lot of cardboard boxes and came back, which solved the packaging problem.

Originally, Jiang Zhi wanted to pick it with Qu Yi, but Qu Yi felt that the strawberry seedlings were so short, and she planted them densely. Jiang Zhi’s burly figure really couldn’t fit, and there was no place to squat, so she still had to worry about him. Be careful to crush the strawberry seedlings.Therefore, Qu Yi drove away and asked him to practice martial arts in the space when he had nothing to do (he found a martial arts cheat book in the study, and he thought about practicing it himself, and he practiced well).That's it, the young couple divides the work and cooperates. When Quyi has something to do, Jiang Zhi is called to help, run errands, do porters and so on, and come to double repair at night, and the daily life is quite nourishing.

Qu Yi didn't forget to practice while picking strawberries in the field. She squatted in the field and labored with her hands, thinking about running the formula in her heart. Some five-color spiritual energy particles gathered around her, sparsely, and there were too few compared with the side of the stream, but Lice are meat even when they are small, anyway, she can't do anything else while squatting there to pick strawberries, so she can use this time to practice by the way, so that neither of them will be delayed, it's perfect.

There is also a little advantage in doing this, because if you always hold it up, your legs will go numb after a while, so when you practice while picking it up, when the aura flows through your legs and knees, the numbness will be repaired by the way.

There are too many strawberries, and it will take more than a week for Quyi to pick all the strawberries.When she finished picking the last strawberry seedling, the strawberry seedlings in front bore fruit again, and she picked it again from the beginning.She has been picking strawberries for three months in a row, picking a total of tens of thousands of catties of strawberries. Looking at the neatly stacked cardboard boxes in the storage ring, she is a little worried. When will her family be able to eat them all!

Of course, this kind of sweet trouble only appeared for a while, and then she was still full of enthusiasm for the strawberries all over the floor.Until this wave of strawberries passed the season, only sporadic red spots could be seen on the seedlings. She was still reluctant to pull them out, but there were still a lot of vegetables waiting to be planted, so no matter how reluctant she was, she endured The heartache pulled out the strawberry seedlings in the field.But she kept 100 strawberry seedlings alone, put them in a bag and put them in the ring, so that when she wants to eat them, she can just plant the seedlings directly, which is much faster than planting strawberry seeds.

As for other strawberry seedlings, they must not be wasted. There will be severe winters in the next few years. Quyi is going to dry these useless strawberry seedlings as firewood reserves, but she spread them on the ground for several days. There is no sign of dryness at all, it looks like it has just been pulled out of the ground, and it is so fresh that it makes people angry.

It seems that the space does not have a drying function.

If she wanted to dry firewood, she had to find another place.

Quyi didn't know where it was suitable for for a while, but Jiang Zhi gave her a good idea, that is the roof.

Their family lives on the top floor, and there is a small ladder from the stairway to climb to the roof. There is no shelter, the wind is strong and the sun is strong, and it is a natural grain drying field. Taking advantage of the night, together with Jiang Zhi, he climbed up to the top floor like a thief. After making sure that the surrounding residents had turned off the lights and went to sleep, he took out the unwanted strawberry seedlings from the space under cover, and spread them out to dry on the floor. .

That's not enough, Quyi was afraid that someone would come up and see this, so she simply took a few locks and locked the small doors leading to the roof of other units, and was going to unlock them after her firewood was finished drying .

After the strawberry seedlings are processed, the next step is strawberries.Because of the bumper harvest of strawberries, the fruit they eat these days is strawberries. No matter how delicious things are, there are times when they can eat enough. Quyi ate strawberries for several days in a row. Do some deep processing of strawberries, and change the way of eating.

She is not good at this, so she turned to Baidu for help.

Then she was delighted to discover that strawberries can be eaten in so many ways.

Strawberry jam, dried strawberries, strawberry juice, strawberry wine, only you can't think of, there is nothing you can't do.

Qu Yi was very moved after seeing it, and thought that all of them seemed to be very good. Anyway, I have a lot of strawberries in my house, so I will try them all.Then she discovered that she still likes strawberry jam the most, because it doesn't choose ingredients, and those rotten strawberries that she crushed and didn't want to throw away can be used as raw materials for strawberry jam.

Qu Yi was happy to boil pot after pot for a whole day, and made several jars of strawberry jam, which was enough for their family to eat for several years.
