The shopkeeper quickly came out with strawberry seeds and opened them for Chu Jiaqiang to see.

Chu Jiaqiang was not polite, grabbed a little with his hand, and put it in front of his eyes to take a closer look. He found that although this kind of seed was old from last year, it was full of grains and looked good.

Strawberry seeds are small particles on the surface of the strawberry pulp, a bit like sesame seeds, very small and fine, and they are also found in strawberry jam because strawberry seeds are difficult to break or filter out.

The shopkeeper hesitated for a while, and finally said, "Little brother, I won't cheat you." This kind of thing looks good, which is why I bought it in the first place. But later I learned that the survival rate of strawberry seeds is very low. If you want to grow strawberries, it's best not to plant them from seeds, as the fruiting rate is very low. Strawberries are one of the more difficult plants to grow. If you want to plant, it is best to buy strawberry seedlings, choose those with whitish roots, thick stems, and no dead leaves. ”

When Chu Shengyi heard this, he also knew that this boss was an honest person, and immediately persuaded Chu Jiaqiang not to buy seeds.

Chu Jiaqiang shook his head, he might not have bought seeds before, but now that he has the spiritual water in the mountains and rivers diagram, as long as the seeds do not die, he can make the seeds develop to the best state.

"Don't worry, I just grow this fruit myself. Otherwise, I'm stupid! The survival rate is low, that's the problem of the seed, and this kind of seed is okay at first glance. The fruiting rate is low, and that is that they will not be cultivated. In fact, strawberries are a very good growing plant, and in winter, many people are afraid that they will freeze to death. But in our place, do you think it's necessary to worry about this? Chu Jiaqiang said with a smile.

The shopkeeper heard it with Chu Shengyi and nodded thoughtfully.

Before this, Chu Jiaqiang had specifically learned about strawberries. Strawberries have many independent ovas, and each ovary has a large number of small fruits when it develops. However, the space in a flower is very limited, and the small fruits grow into a whole as they grow. The strawberry fruit, which is often referred to as a strawberry, has a lot of black "seeds" on it, and it is a achene that develops from the ovary without flesh. The part of the strawberry that is commonly eaten is actually a receptacle outside the ovary, which together with the achenes that grow on top of it, to form an aggregate fruit.

Strawberries contain aspartic acid, which can naturally and peacefully remove heavy metal ions from the body. Strawberries are bright in color, soft and juicy in fruit, rich in fragrance, sweet and sour, and rich in nutrition, and are deeply loved by consumers at home and abroad. It belongs to the high-grade fruit.

In addition to being a delicious fruit, it is also highly valuable for medicine.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that strawberries are sweet and cool, enter the spleen, stomach and lung meridians, moisten the lungs, strengthen the spleen and stomach, diuresis and swelling, relieve fever and dispel heat, and are suitable for pulmonary fever and cough, loss of appetite, lack of urination, summer heat and thirst, etc.

In addition to preventing scurvy, the rich vitamin C in strawberries has a positive preventive effect on arteriosclerosis, coronary heart disease, angina, cerebral hemorrhage, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, etc. The pectin and cellulose contained in strawberries can promote gastrointestinal peristalsis, improve constipation, and prevent hemorrhoids and intestinal cancer. The amines contained in strawberries have a certain effect on leukemia and aplastic anemia.

It can be eaten by the general population, such as wind-heat cough, sore throat, and hoarseness; Those who have hot and dry mouth or diarrhea such as water in summer; Cancer, especially nasopharyngeal cancer, lung cancer, tonsil cancer, and laryngeal cancer, should be consumed. Patients with phlegm and dampness, slippery bowel and diarrhea, and urinary tract stones should not eat more.

I asked the shopkeeper for some loofah seeds, and then he and Chu Shengyi left the seed shop and walked to the end of the street. He was going to plant strawberries on the five acres of open space and some loofahs on the edge of the big ditch.

As soon as the owner of the building materials store saw that the people were Chu Shengyi and Chu Jiaqiang, he immediately put down the tea in his hand that he hadn't drunk yet, and greeted him with a smile.

"Xiaoyi, Jiaqiang, let's have a cup of tea inside!" Boss Chen didn't talk about business first, but took Chu Jiaqiang and the two to drink tea first.

And Chu Jiaqiang was afraid that there would be too much delay for a while, and Ye Caiping went crazy again, so he immediately waved his hand and said: "I can't drink tea first, I came here mainly to ask for some reinforced concrete." ”

"Oh! Since Jiaqiang is in a hurry, let's have a few more drinks when we have time in the future. I don't know how much you want from Jiaqiang? If you say more, I can discount a little. Boss Chen can also see that this young man is very popular, he is not ambiguous when he buys things, and he likes to do things refreshingly, which is also in line with his taste.

Chu Jiaqiang pondered for a while, and calculated in his heart for a while, but he didn't study architecture, and he couldn't figure it out for a while. At this time, Chu Shengyi spoke: "I heard from the fifth uncle, it is about eight tons. ”

Boss Chen was overjoyed, the number of eight tons was not small. A bag of cement is 100 catties, and 8 tons is 160 bags.

Chu Jiaqiang nodded and said, "Then let's ask for eight tons first!" It's not enough to buy it again, otherwise it's useless to buy too much cement. Chu Jiaqiang also knew that this should be the lowest estimate of the fifth uncle. The bridge is mainly made of three fixed points, on both sides of the reservoir and on the middle island.

"Well, originally the cement in our place is 482 pieces a ton, which is higher than other places, which must be admitted, no way, our place is remote, and the freight is very expensive. But Jiaqiang, it's not the first time you've done my business, I'll give you 475 a ton, what do you think? Boss Chen immediately gave Chu Jiaqiang a discount.

"Then thank you, Uncle Chen." Chu Jiaqiang turned to Chu Shengyi again: "Uncle Shengyi, did the fifth uncle say how many steel bars are needed?" ”

Chu Shengyi nodded: "There are more second-level steel bars, about five tons, and third-level steel bars also need one ton." ”

In fact, the fifth uncle mainly considered that Chu Jiaqiang would use it to pull fruits in the future, bear the weight of the car and fruits, and prevent heavy flooding, so he needed so many steel bars to prevent accidents.

Chu Jiaqiang nodded without thinking about it, he didn't understand much about this, the fifth uncle could do whatever he wanted!

Boss Chen is even happier in his heart, steel bars are different from cement. He hurriedly said: "The second-level steel bar is 5,176 yuan a ton, and the third-level steel bar is one hundred and two." I can also discount some, but not by a large margin. I count you 5170 a ton for the second level, and 5280 a ton for the third level, which is definitely the cheapest in our town. ”

Boss Chen didn't want to mess up this business, after all, it was a business of more than 30,000 yuan, and if he succeeded, he would earn at least more than 2,000 today.

After finalizing the price, about 35,000 yuan was used for reinforced cement this time, and with sand and gravel, the three fixed points had to be smashed for 50,000 yuan. The most expensive iron cable has not yet landed, and with the thick planks that can bear the weight, it really cannot be less than 100,000.

Chu Jiaqiang's speed of spending money also made Chu Shengyi smack.
