Nine-tiered fairy lotus

Chapter 37 Green Food Pretty Strawberries

During the period of the driver's license test, the interior of the lotus space has also undergone changes, first of all, strawberries and garlic are ripening one after another.

The strawberries planted by Hutu began to bear fruit in early August.One inflorescence in one plant can bear six or seven fruits. The fruit is shaped like a chicken heart, but much larger than a chicken heart.Because their stems cannot support their weight, they always lie on the ground.The ones facing up are red, and the ones close to the ground are white. Only the ones that are just hanging in the air will be particularly bright red and beautiful.

"What's going on here?" Hu Tu looked puzzled, "Why are all the strawberries sold on the street bright red? Don't they grow any soil?"

After some investigation, Hu Tu finally found out that the strawberries are really not soiled, they are all planted on the shelf.Those shelves are called three-dimensional strawberry planting grooves, which are fixed in the air by triangular, trapezoidal or upright steel frames, and can grow strawberries, tomatoes, watermelons and so on.

"That's fine, it's really a smart idea." Hu Tu praised from the bottom of his heart.However, after thinking carefully for a while, he became worried again, "But how can I get such a big thing into the space? This is beyond Hu Xiaolian's ability to bear it! It seems that I have to wait a little longer. Use this planter."

Hu Tu put aside the idea of ​​planting troughs, and tasted the strawberries produced in the space.He planted two varieties of strawberry, Juxing No. [-] and Mingjing strawberry. While enjoying the sweet and sour taste of strawberries, he carefully distinguished different varieties of strawberries for their subtle differences in shape, color and taste.

The strawberry fruit of Juxing No. 120 is very large, extremely resistant to storage and transportation, and has a particularly high yield.The fruit is conical, bright red and bright, uniform and bright in shape, rich in aroma, sweet and not sour, with good flesh hardness and strong peel toughness, up to [-] grams.

The fruit of Mingjing strawberry is large, nearly round and neat.The surface of the fruit is red, smooth, and shiny, the fruit is firm, the flesh is red, dense, and the pith is small.Sweet and sour flavor, high quality.

After trying two catties of strawberries each, Hu Tu commented unsatisfactorily: "In terms of taste, I prefer Mingjing strawberries, but in terms of yield, Juxing No. [-] is obviously better. Therefore, it is difficult to directly Distinguish between good and bad. If compared with those on the market, hey, then my strawberry is slightly better. Although the appearance is not good, it is better because it has not been sprayed with any pesticides. Just because of this alone, it is much healthier. Besides, I live in the Lotus Terrace space, without management, I can harvest every few months, I am not afraid of pests and diseases, and I can guarantee the harvest in drought and flood, so it can be said that it is a stable business without losing money, which is even better.”

After talking about the advantages, Hu Tu began to talk about the disadvantages: "However, the quality is not good, and it really needs to be improved, otherwise even if it is a good product, it will not be sold at the price; moreover, the output is too low, even if it takes the high-end route, it will not be sold. A few dollars is incomparable with other people's greenhouses that cost several acres; third, they are not well-known, and if they advertise to others that the strawberries have not been sprayed with pesticides, they will not believe them; fourth, although the taste is better, it is not big. The range is better than those on the market, especially those stained with soil, and the color and aroma have declined; fifth, it is a bit troublesome when planting and picking, mainly because I am not yet proficient in the skills of conscious control. Crushing, not enough strength, and not being able to pick it off is indeed a troublesome problem that needs to be solved urgently; and the last point, this strawberry is really attractive, it cannot be sold at a high price, and it is not willing to sell it at a low price."

Finally, Hu Tu said with a smile: "Anyway, I can't make much money, so it's better to stay and eat by myself. If you can't finish eating, give some to relatives and friends, such as Guiyeyuan, my mother's colleagues, and several elders in the village Wait, you will be able to share almost the same. Of course, there is also a business partner, Xu Qiuyu, who is also indispensable. After this calculation, it is less than one cent, and the three or four hundred catties of strawberries that can be harvested even if the harvest is bumper Not enough."

There are a lot of reasons, but in fact, every sentence expresses the same meaning: "I want to keep it for myself, and I must not make it cheaper for others." Hu Tu's previous idea of ​​relying on planting to make money disappeared all of a sudden. Without a trace, "I will sell it when the land grows bigger and more plants are planted. Now it's just an experiment."

In fact, the strawberries produced in Liantai Space are more popular than Hu Tu thinks.Xu Suwan was the second to eat them. She took the first bite and said, "Where did you get the strawberries? They are delicious!"

Hu Tu said: "It was planted by a friend's house, and he said it was a pure natural green fruit without pesticides, and he gave me some." He couldn't tell the truth about this kind of thing, so he made up a lie nervously and told I thought to myself, "This can't be considered a lie. My friend's surname is Hu and his name is Xiaolian. I got the name. In order to thank me for taking in and taking care of me, he gave me these strawberries. What's more, I was responsible for growing these strawberries." half of the credit."

Xu Suwan held the basket full of three catties of strawberries, and asked, "Who are you so close to, who gave you so many green fruits." While talking, she ate another one, "And this strawberry is quite big. Ah, what variety?" She picked up another egg-sized strawberry and stuffed it into her mouth.

Hu Tu replied lightly: "There are two varieties here, Juxing No. [-] and Mingjing. The big one is called Juxing No. [-]. Is it delicious? If it is delicious, I will ask a friend for some tomorrow."

Xu Suwan immediately said: "Of course it's delicious, but why do you want strawberries grown by others, and they are green fruits." She shook her head slightly while eating, just when Hu Tu thought she was going to refuse. , she said again, "This won't work, at least you have to give them some money."

"Oh!" Hu Tu nodded suddenly, thought for a while, and asked again: "Then how much is it appropriate for me to give someone a catty?"

Xu Suwan said: "If someone has a price, it will be set according to the price, if not, it will be based on the market price. This will not let others suffer, and we can eat with peace of mind."

She was right, especially the last sentence, she was so relieved to eat that she kept eating.So much so that when it was time for dinner, she said, "Eat, I'm not hungry, I'll be full if I eat strawberries."

After Hu Tu had finished his dinner, he went out for a walk and came back, only seven or eight of the two catties of strawberries were left.Xu Suwan ate while watching TV, and even wiped out a basket of strawberries.She glanced at Hu Tu and said timidly, "Do you still want to eat? I left some for you."

Hu Tu felt quite helpless, it was obvious that she hadn't had time to finish it, and it was clear that Hu Tu would be wiped out 10 minutes late, but she opened her eyes and said nonsense.But this also shows from a side that these strawberries are really delicious, which is a good thing.He said: "Mom, you don't even eat dinner. Aren't you afraid of indigestion after eating so many strawberries?"

Xu Suwan rubbed her stomach and said, "The main reason is that you said that the strawberries were not sprayed with pesticides, and that such fruits cannot be stored. If you don't finish eating them early, why don't you keep them and let them go bad?"

Hu Tu really wanted to say, this is an excuse, everything is an excuse.He said: "Is it really delicious? Then don't keep some, you can make breakfast tomorrow, or you can share it with your colleagues at work!"

"It's okay to keep it for breakfast." Xu Suwan put away the remaining strawberries, "I'll save it if I take it to work, it will be snatched up." Her expression was like a wronged hamster, very funny.
