Chapter 11 Strawberry Harvesting
The seeds we bought online arrived, and the strawberries in the field were ripe.
This black soil is amazing, when planting strawberries, I didn't choose seeds, seedlings were not transplanted, there were no pests and diseases, and it was alive before watering, which lasted 4 months, and it was fruitful.
During the strawberry planting, Jiang Zhi thought that there was no wind in the space, and there were no insects, and the flowers could not pollinate themselves. I was afraid that it would only bloom and not bear fruit at that time, so he went to the edge of our building, a foreigner who keeps bees and sells honey all year round, bought a box of bees and put it in the space, as well as a honey shaker, a tool for taking honey, and also bought a set of honey shakers.
Honey is a good thing, often drink it can beautify the skin, live a long and healthy life, and can also treat some geriatric diseases, such as high blood pressure, etc., we should prepare some for the four old people in our family, which is a great benefit. It's just that I'm a little scared of those small, aggressive flying insects, but for the sake of my family, I put up with it.
When the strawberries are ripe, two cans of honey are harvested, and I plan to honor them to my parents and in-laws.
When Jiang Zhi was buying seeds, the salesman introduced him to many varieties, including Japanese Hongfeng, Snow Honey, Spring Honey, Meiwang No. 5, Darth Lect, etc., Jiang Zhi couldn't remember everything. When they asked him which one he bought, he said, "Buy the best one." "So they gave him this Daslector variety, and I read the introduction, it's a French product.
The strawberries I grow are very delicious, the fruit is dark red, the flesh is also red, and the top (meaning of each) is thick and watery. I don't know how to describe the taste, but I think it's very strawberry. The strawberries sold outside with crooked melons and cracked dates can't be compared with the ones I grow, so they are not on the same level. I can eat more than a pound at a time. My son also loves to eat, and he has eaten the big strawberries I planted, so he said that he will eat this kind of in the future, and the little emperor also issued a holy decree that I will buy more tomorrow, and he will take it to the kindergarten to his good friend Tian Tian to eat. In accordance with the Emperor's decree, I brought him a large box of strawberries the next day, and asked him to establish a long-term friendly relationship with the children in kindergarten. As for our Jiang Zhi, I will feed one and eat one, and I have never refused.
Each strawberry seedling bears a lot of fruit, and the branches are bent, I think there is a pound, and there are thousands of seedlings in the whole land. I left about 100 seedlings unpicked, I wanted to keep the seeds, and I picked the rest. When I was done, I put it in a plastic bag that I bought in advance and put it in my storage ring. In practice, I have come to the experience that it is not good to use plastic bags to pack strawberries, and a lot of strawberries on the side are crushed and cannot be eaten, which is very wasteful, and I reflected this situation to the superior leaders, Comrade Jiang Zhi thought about it and said that in the future, I will find a way to buy some paper shells, or get some wood to make some wooden boxes. That's all there is to it this time.
Originally, Jiang Zhi was going to pick it with me, but I think that the strawberry seedlings are so short, and I still plant them relatively densely, Jiang Zhi's burly figure really can't let go, and there is no place to squat, and I have to worry that he accidentally crushes the strawberry seedlings. So, I drove him away, he practiced martial arts in the space when he had nothing to do (he found a book of martial arts secrets in the study, and he pondered and practiced by himself, and he practiced it in a good way), and when I had something, he went out of the space to help me run errands, work as a porter, and then have a double cultivation at night, and my daily life is also quite nourishing.
I didn't forget to practice when I picked strawberries in the field. (Jiang Zhi urged, in the concentric formula, requires that the aura in the two people's bodies must reach a saturated state before they can double cultivate.) Once I deliberately cultivated slowly, and by the time I reached the evening, I still couldn't reach the standard of double cultivation, I thought Jiang Zhi would give me a holiday, and it was too lewd to do that every day, so I had to be a little more reserved. But Jiang Zhi still pulled me into the big bed, tortured me fiercely for a night, turned me over and over, saying that we could do something "practical" while we didn't need to cultivate. I shouted so much that night that my voice was hoarse, and I felt that the skin was worn out in two parts of my body, and guess where, and finally I didn't escape from his clutches, he was determined to clean me up. So I'll learn to be good in the future, double cultivation will double cultivation, it's better than endless cultivation. )
Squatting in the ground and working in his hands, thinking about running the mantra in his heart, some five-colored aura particles gathered around him, sparsely lala, and too few compared to the stream, (I also tried to cultivate outside the space, but I didn't look at the aura particles.) Anyway, I have nothing to do, so I just want to add up a lot, so that I don't delay my work or my cultivation. The aura particles that entered my body would automatically go to my knees to repair my legs that were numb from long-term squatting, and the aura absorbed every day was barely able to keep up with Jiang Zhi's progress.
There were so many strawberries that it took me more than a week to pick them all. When I finished picking the last strawberry seedling, the previous strawberry seedling bore fruit again, and I picked it all over again. I picked strawberries for three months in a row, and I picked tens of thousands of catties of strawberries in total.
When the strawberry seedlings didn't bear too many fruits, I knew that this strawberry crop was out of season. I reluctantly pulled out all the strawberry seedlings, and left 100 strawberry seedlings in a bag and put them in the ring, I thought that when I wanted to eat fresh strawberries, I would plant a few more, and use the seedlings to plant sure that the results would be faster. The rest want to be dried to make firewood. But I found that I had been putting the strawberry seedlings in the space for several days, and it didn't look like it was running out of water at all, so I thought it was because the space didn't have a drying function.
Jiang Zhi came up with a solution to this problem, our family lives on the top floor, and we can go up to the roof through the ladder outside our house, so we transport the strawberry seedlings to the roof and put them on the roof to dry naturally, which is fast and not easy for people to find. The roof of my house is very empty, and it is a good place to dry things.
There are so many strawberries that our family has eaten them for many days, and we have eaten enough, even if they are delicious, we can't eat them all the time. (My son didn't eat enough, he only ate outside for 4 or 5 days, so he's still struggling.) I've been eating in space for a few months. I wondered if I could reprocess the strawberries.
I turned to Baidu for help, and I was pleased to find that the rotten strawberries that I hated and didn't want to throw away could come in handy, and I processed them into strawberry jam, which tasted sweet and sour, and our whole family loved it. Dried strawberries are sweet and sour and tough to chew, and our whole family loves to eat them. Strawberry juice, my son and I love to drink it, this Jiang Zhi doesn't like to drink it, he said that this is sweet water, sweet water with fruit pieces. (I didn't bother to strain the flesh out.) and strawberry wine (because it is mixed with liquor, only Jiang Zhi loves to drink it, and it is estimated that my parents can also love it).
