Chapter 417: Strawberry Harvest

PS: Thank you for the tips that come and see it every day

After drinking tea and resting for a while, everyone carried cardboard boxes and took adhesive paper to the strawberry farm. When they got there, the old village chief had already arrived with everyone, just waiting for Chu Jiaqiang to make arrangements. In addition to them, there are also many tourists who come to help. Before, they had eaten for free for so long, and it was very appropriate to come and help.

"How much is a pound of this strawberry?" Someone asked curiously.

Tang Fu also guessed the intentions of the old village chief and others, so his voice was slightly amplified: "I think this quality is very good, the strawberries grow very evenly, and this batch will be given fifteen yuan a catty." ”

His price is about the same as the market price outside, you know, this is the wholesale price, not the retail price. But instead of suffering, he made a lot of money. He changed the package, and the price increased several times. These are good fruits with no chemical residues, and those who have money don't care how much money they have.

However, his words caused an uproar among the villagers. Fifteen yuan a catty is already a sky-high price, and in their place, buying a catty of meat is about ten yuan, and this fruit is more expensive than the price of meat. However, when they remembered the price of free-range chickens some time ago, it was not so difficult to accept.

The second uncle carried over a weighbridge, and weighed it by the way after it was packed into the box. He was silently calculating in his heart how much money this strawberry farm could make. According to Chu Jiaqiang's incomplete statistics, there may be a yield of about 5,000 catties per mu. There are a total of five acres here, which is two to thirty thousand catties, that is, more than 300,000 catties.

A lot of things are not unknown, but they are shocked. Although his nephew's monthly income has exceeded 500,000, a few acres of strawberries can earn so much. I still find it hard to get used to.

In the past, it was always felt that it was difficult to make money and that the peasants had a hard time, but now it has subverted the previous concept.

"Okay, let's start picking! Pick some large ones, and pick the cooked ones first. Chu Jiaqiang said, in fact, these are relatively familiar.

Everyone took a plastic basket and then dispersed, and few people picked up a line. Such. A large number of people means great strength, and the work progress is very fast. The two guys just left the place and packed the boxes, and the second uncle looked at the other person.

Tang Fu wandered around, always eating along the way, and never saw him stop. People with a big appetite are different, and they may be discriminated against in the city, but in the countryside, being able to eat is a blessing.

"Be careful, don't touch those bees!" Chu Jiaqiang reminded.

Right now. There are still strawberries blooming one after another, and there will naturally be those hard-working little guys when there are flowers. These are wild bees. It's a little more powerful than the usual bees. What he said was mainly for Tang Fu and them, and the people of Chujiazhai gave them a winter melon to make guts, and they didn't dare to mess around.

"With so many bees, when did you raise them? This is very good, and I can't do without them in the future to develop fruit cultivation here. Tang Fu said.

"It's already a lot of money here, if you go to the Bee Valley, you will be guaranteed to have weak legs." A tourist on the side told him.

"Bee Valley? Is there such a place in Chujiazhai? "Tang Fu of Chujiazhai has also been here twice, but he has never heard of such a place as Bee Valley.

The man pointed to the opposite side: "No! That's it. That valley is home to more than eight million bees. It's all wild bees flying out of the mountains, it's amazing! Known as the madman of the village, no one dares to mess with him, not even the tiger, who dares to run over there. ”

As soon as Tang Fu heard that it was a wild bee, and there were more than eight million, his neck immediately shrank, and his heart had already listed the so-called Bee Valley as a forbidden area. Definitely not going over there in the future.

I won't go to the valley, but I will definitely go to the reservoir. He heard that there were now more "visitors" inside. He wanted to see the two huge carps, which were auspicious animals. I've seen the swans just now. It's all in groups. It is said that the crested ibis, which is particularly precious on the other side of the island, has to be seen and seen.

Tang Fu was thinking in his heart, when to bring the children over to play. In the past six months, he has not had time to play with his children. I seemed to want to come here when I saw my children before, so let's satisfy my children once!

The strawberries here are not picked in a day or two, and he just harvests about 5,000 catties every day. It's going to take about a week to pick here, so he's probably going to be here longer.

Thinking of this, he immediately called his wife and asked her to bring the children over to play for a few days. That is, his child is still young and has not gone to kindergarten, so he has time. He is also forty years old now, but he got married late, and he got married in his thirties.

"Hey! Brother, your royal jelly will be given to my brother after a while. You can't buy this good thing out there. Tang Fu said to Chu Jiaqiang. There is already little royal jelly outside, and it is even more unusual if it is still a wild bee.

Chu Jiaqiang nodded, during this time, royal jelly has accumulated a lot. A few days ago, many tourists asked him to relax the sale of royal jelly, but they have been staring at it for a long time.

"Okay, but it won't give much. This thing is difficult to accumulate, millions of bees, a day is more than ten catties. And a lot of people are staring, and they are also useful. Chu Jiaqiang explained to him.

"Huh! This dude understands! Thank you in advance! I won't make it difficult for you, brother. Tang Fu laughed repeatedly.

Behind Chu Jiaqiang, a hen followed with a group of chicks and was teaching chicks how to catch them. However, there are also a few ducklings mixed in the chicken, and two little swans.

These little ones surfaced the other day, and the hens took them all over the backyard all day. They often dig around the ground and make some ants and the like for the chickens to peck at.

These chickens are very difficult to serve, they have to be fed three meals a day, and they have to be gruel with bran flour. Foods such as corn kernels and millet that are hard and fast can not be digested even if they can eat them.

The second aunt also boiled some sweet potatoes every day at night, and if everyone couldn't finish eating, they would give it to the chickens. The hen is very conscientious and will peck the sweet potato to pieces, which is why the chick pecks at it.

Chu Jiaqiang threw a fat worm among the chickens, and those chickens immediately surrounded them to grab food.

After an hour or two, a guy reported to Tang Fu: "Mr. Tang, it's five thousand catties now." That's how we prepared these cartons, and the trucks could only pull them. ”

Tang Fu nodded: "Okay, then let's pick it here today!" ”

Chu Jiaqiang hurriedly shouted to everyone: "Okay! Great work, everyone! Today's goods are enough. Whoever wants to eat it picks it themselves, you're welcome! Let's have a meal together. ”

At home, someone has already started cooking. People are enthusiastic to help, and they have to be warmly entertained.

Back at the house, Tang Fu settled today's account on the spot, a total of 75,000, and saw that those villagers were very excited, and they placed more hope on the fruit trees they managed.
