503 Strawberry picking
(Thanks to my friend Demon Ye 1993, Tongye Feifei, and Strike the other side of the monthly ticket for encouragement)
Even if Liu Heming knew very well in his heart that this lake was because he had a very unreliable dream, and then it became purple, but he couldn't tell others. Therefore, we can only wait for the results of continuous testing by the Ministry of Agriculture and the environmental protection department.
The sadness on his face was not faked, it was because he regretted using so much biological energy in a daze. Is it easy to save some creatures, and I want to get a few more peach trees for my daughter, but I didn't expect them all to be used on the big lake.
These people have been testing for fifteen days, and they can finally determine the pattern of this lake.
In the morning, it is a willful tumbling, and in the afternoon, it turns into a colorful rainbow lake. There are two days in between where the change is not very noticeable, and that's because of the cloudy day.
Therefore, many scientists have speculated that the reason why this lake is like this may have something to do with the refraction of sunlight. Some crystals were found under the lake through an underwater camera, presumably as a reaction.
It can be said that this is a free physical examination for the lake, and Liu Heming was still a little frightened at the beginning, always afraid that they would find out what the situation was.
But slowly he didn't worry, the lake was too deep, and it was really an underground river. And it's not just the underground river, there seem to be a lot of passages underneath, and these passages are where these big fish come over.
These fish don't look similar, they are not permanent fishermen here, they come and go a lot. It's just that where those channels connect, even according to current science and technology, can't be measured.
After fifteen days of testing, the identity of Rainbow Lake here was finally confirmed, and there was nothing wrong with it. The water here should be watered, and it should be watered.
It can't be said that Liu Heming's income was delayed during the testing period, and the only delay was the official listing of vegetables. The restaurant and buffet in the ranch have a lot of income during this time.
Although the restaurant is expensive, the quality is better, and the seats are limited, so if you want to eat, you have to make a reservation now, otherwise there is really no place. Therefore, many inexperienced tourists, after coming here, also planned to go to the restaurant for a high consumption, and in the end they could only go to the food court to eat shabu-shabu.
Although Rainbow Lake has not yet been officially recognized as a well-known attraction in the United States, it is not far off.
The main thing is that this rainbow lake appeared so abruptly that people don't know what its stability will be. If it's still like that after a few months or even a year or two, then it can really become an internationally renowned attraction. The attraction will not only be for the American people, but for the whole world.
Then Liu Heming felt that it was also very useful to look at the situation that he dreamed of. We can't look at the present, we have to look at the future. He could only comfort himself like this, but in fact, he was still very distressed by the overuse of bioenergy in his heart.
"Daddy, break out the caterpillar for me. Liu Heming was looking at the fish in the lake, and Alex ran over on a pony with a piece of corn.
Liu Heming took the corn and twisted it a little harder, and a long string of corn kernels connected together was twisted off, and then put it in Alex's small mouth that was already wide open. After eating the caterpillar-like corn kernels, the little one became very happy and chewed hard.
This is a snack that the little guy likes very much recently, and when he saw Liu Heming eating it, he liked it all of a sudden. It's just that the little guy's own strength is small, and he gets two or three grains out every time, which is not as long as Liu Heming's.
"Eat less, there will be a lot of those strawberries today that are really good and can make you enjoy eating. Liu Heming said after getting another one for the little guy.
"Well, Daddy, can I give it to the puppies? Alex nodded and asked very seriously.
"You can give it to the animals, but you can't eat too much. Liu Heming pinched his daughter's little face and said.
The little guy is happy, it's not just Xiong Da and Xiong Er who like these strawberries, but the little animals at home also like it. In the past, I could only feed them secretly, but now I can become open.
Today is also the day when the strawberry farm is open, for these strawberries, Liu Heming originally didn't care much, the original intention was to hope to attract tourists, but he didn't expect these strawberries to bring him a little surprise.
These strawberries are seedlings when they are first bought, unlike other vegetables that are moistened by the water of the small lake when they are seeded. However, these strawberries are not only good for each plant, but also taste good.
It's a credit to the system, which knows that Alex likes to eat fruit. So let those earthworms take extra care of this side, don't look at the lack of fertilizer, the land here is very fertile.
A strawberry plant can be picked two or three times, and the whole plant can reach about 1.8 pounds. Here he grows less than five acres, and there are about 40,000 strawberries on one acre. In other words, the yield of one acre is 70,000 pounds.
He doesn't plan to sell these strawberries cheaply, the price of picking them is $8 per person, children under the age of 12 are free, and children between the ages of 12 and 16 are half price. Pick a lot of strawberries for four dollars a pound.
Don't look at this price is higher than the price of strawberries in many supermarkets, but Liu Heming feels that this is also a conscience price. The quality of these strawberries is so good that if they were to be sold in Tajita supermarkets in the future, Suzanne would price them at $5.99 a pound.
In other words, these strawberries, which he didn't pay much attention to, can bring him an income of $1.5 million.
Of course, now these are only the income in Liu Heming's plan, today is the first day of strawberry picking, whether it can be accepted by these tourists, it depends on today's picking.
At first, the tourists were not very cold, although when they came here today, they received a notice that the strawberry farm would be officially open to the public. But when I saw that price, I was a little unacceptable, not to mention that it was about double the price in the supermarket.
Alex didn't care whether they thought it was worth it or not, and after getting approval from Liu Heming, the little guy began to call friends and summoned all the little animals over.
Took Xiong Da Xiong Er and White Tail to pick a lot of strawberries in the field, and then began to distribute them to these small animals.
People find it expensive and have little interest in picking it, but that doesn't stop them from watching the excitement. Especially after Xiong Daxiong Er entered the strawberry field, he was cautious and afraid of stepping on strawberries, and he looked quite happy.
These strawberries are very popular with animals, and the favorite sweets are Xiong Da and Xiong Er, people are one bite at a time, don't care how big your strawberry is. Then it's a little bit, and after Alex puts the strawberry in his mouth, he shakes his head and eats it.
I don't know if it's because I often drink the water of the small lake, but the animals in the pasture have good gastrointestinal function. Alex gave them a share, and it was a pleasure to eat.
It's not often that Alex distributes food to the animals, and many of the time it's done in front of the house, and there are fewer tourists there.
Now seeing these animals in harmony here, you lean on me, and I'm next to you, waiting for Alex to share strawberries for them, which also makes many people feel a little surprised.
At first, I was a little unimpressed by the strawberries here, but after seeing the animals eating them and Alex giving some to the children who came together, the tourists thought they could try it. Anyway, the price of a person's picking is only eight dollars, so it's time to play, just eat enough in the field, let's not take it out.
This is a normal idea for many people, and the attractive thing about picking is not to eat casually after paying the money. They feel that no matter how delicious it is, they will be full when they are full. It's worth it for only eight dollars and a lot to eat.
It's just that things have gone a little off, and these strawberries are really delicious. The name of the creamy strawberry is not called out of the name, and it tastes refreshing and delicious at the same time, but also has a strong milky flavor.
But as they ate, they found that some of them could not eat. Even those who have a very good appetite eat more than a pound or even two pounds at most.
These strawberries are really delicious, and the idea of just eating them by yourself began to waver. Anyway, you can't eat these strawberries, so take them home, put them in the refrigerator, and eat a few occasionally, even if the price is more expensive, it doesn't seem to be a problem, right?
The empty baskets that were originally carried have been transformed from furnishings to practical, and everyone's baskets are full. When he came to the place where he was weighed, the largest person actually picked more than six pounds.
"You can rest assured that these strawberries have a long shelf life. Liu Heming said with a smile.
"This is also a characteristic of our farm produce, whether it is those vegetables or the strawberries here, the quality will not change for a week in the refrigerator. If it's too long, I'm not sure. ”
"Dexter, is that the same for the other vegetables in the ranch?" one of the tourists asked curiously.
Liu Heming nodded, "We have all done experiments on these vegetables. Don't look at our vegetables that are slightly more expensive, that's because they are of good quality. ”
"We have a partnership with the Tajita Group, the Tageta supermarket in Montana, where vegetables from our ranch will be available in three days. The strawberries you just picked are selling for $5.99. ”
The people on the side were frightened by this price, even if even considering the cost of transportation, packaging and labor, this price is much more expensive than picking here.
Now that I think about the price of the ranch vegetables marked on the cafeteria, it seems that it is really not expensive. Because after coming to the supermarket, the price will definitely be higher.
