Chapter 48 Green Food Pretty Strawberry

During the period when the driver's license test was taken, the interior of the lotus platform space also changed, first of all, the ripening of strawberries and garlic.

The strawberries planted in Hutu have fruits one after another since early August. One inflorescence can produce six or seven fruits. The fruits are like chicken hearts, but much larger than chicken hearts. Because their stems cannot support their weight, they always lie on the ground. The ones facing up are red, and the ones facing the ground are white. Only those that are just hanging in the air will be particularly bright red and bright and particularly beautiful.

"What's going on?" Hu Tu looked puzzled, "Why are the strawberries sold on the street all bright red? Do others plant them without getting stuck in the soil?"

After inquiring, Hu Tu realized that the strawberries of others are really not stuck in the soil and are planted on the shelves. Those shelves are called three-dimensional strawberry planting troughs, fixed in the air by triangular, trapezoidal or upright steel frames, and can be planted with strawberries, tomatoes, watermelons, etc.

"This is OK, it's such a smart idea." Hu Tuda praised from the bottom of his heart. However, after thinking about it carefully, he was 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, and if I have the ability in the future, I will use this kind of planting trough."

Hu Tu first put the idea of ​​the planting tank aside and tasted the strawberries produced in the space. He planted two varieties of Superstar No. 1 and Mingjing strawberries. While enjoying the sweet and sour taste of strawberries, he carefully distinguished the nuances of different varieties of strawberries, in shape, color and taste.

The strawberry fruit of Superstar One is very large, extremely resistant to storage and transportation, and has extremely high yield. The fruit is conical, bright red, uniform and bright in appearance, rich in aroma, sweet and not sour, good hardness of the flesh, strong skin toughness, maximum up to 120 grams.

The fruits of Mingjing strawberries are large, nearly round and neat. The fruit surface is red, flat, and has good luster. The fruit has good hardness, the flesh is red, dense, and the marrow is small. The flavor is sweet and sour, and the quality is high.

After tasting two kilograms of strawberries, Hu Tu commented unsatisfiedly: "In terms of taste, I prefer Mingjing strawberries, but in terms of yield, Superstar 1 is obviously better. Therefore, it is difficult to directly distinguish between good and bad. If compared with those on the market, hehe, then my strawberries are slightly better. Although the quality is not good, the advantage is that there is no spray of pesticides. Just this point alone is much healthier. Besides, I can collect one of them in the lotus platform space without management. I can collect it every month without fear of pests and diseases, and it can be said to be a business that is stable and profitable, so I will win again."

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 good things will not be sold at a price; furthermore, the output is too low, and even if you take the high-end route, you will not be able to sell for a few dollars, which is incomparable to the greenhouses that are often several acres; third, you have not made a name for yourself. If you promote the strawberry without pesticides, you will not believe it; fourth, although the taste is better, it has not been much better than those on the market, especially those that are stained with soil, and the color, fragrance and smell have decreased; fifth, it is a bit troublesome when planting and picking, mainly because you are not proficient in the skills of consciousness control. If you have too much strength, you can easily pinch it, don't have enough strength, and you can't pick it off, which is indeed a trouble that needs to be solved urgently; and last point, these strawberries are really attractive, they can't be sold at a high price, and they are reluctant to sell at a low price."

Finally, Hu Tu smiled and said, "Anyway, I can't make much money, so it's better to stay and eat it yourself. If you can't finish it, send some to your relatives and friends, such as Gui Yeyuan, my mother's colleagues, several elders in the village, etc., you can get the same amount. Of course, there is also business partner Xu Qiuyu, which cannot be missing. After counting this, it's not enough to collect less than a cent of the land, even if you have a good harvest, you can get three or four hundred kilograms of strawberries."

There are a lot of reasons, but in fact each sentence expresses the same meaning: "I want to keep it for myself and never be cheaper for others." Hu Tu's idea of ​​relying on planting to make money suddenly disappeared without a trace, "When the place becomes bigger and more planted, I will sell it now. Now I'm just doing 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. After taking the first bite, she said, "Where did you get strawberries? It's delicious!"

Hu Tu said: "It was planted by a friend's house. It was said that it was a pure natural green fruit without pesticides. I gave it to me a little." This kind of thing can't be told to anyone. He made up a lie nervously and said in his heart, "This cannot be considered a lie. My friend's surname is Hu Xiaolian, and my name was obtained by me. In order to thank me for my intake and care, he gave me these strawberries. What's more, it is half of my contribution to planting these strawberries."

Xu Suwan held the basket that had a total of three pounds of strawberries and asked, "Who are you so good to you? People give you so many green fruits." When she spoke, she ate another one, "And this strawberry is quite big, what kind of variety?" She picked up another strawberry the size of an egg and stuffed it into her mouth.

Hu Tu replied lightly: "There are two varieties here, Superstar One and Mingjing. The big ones are called Superstar One. Is it delicious? If it tastes delicious, I will ask for a friend tomorrow."

Xu Suwan immediately said, "It's delicious, of course it's delicious, but why do you want the strawberries you grow? And it's green fruit?" She shook her head gently while eating. Just when Hu Tu thought she was going to refuse, she said, "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: "How much does it cost to me to give me a pound?"

Xu Suwan said: "If someone has a price, they will be priced according to the price, and if they don't, they will be priced according to the market price. This will not only make people suffer losses, but we can also feel at ease."

She was right, especially in the last sentence, she was so comfortable that she kept eating. So when it was time to have supper, she said, "Eat it, I'm not hungry, I'll be full after eating strawberries."

After Hu Tu finished his dinner, he went out for a walk and came back. There were only seven or eight left in two pounds of strawberries. Xu Suwan was eating while watching TV, but she actually wiped out a basket of strawberries. She glanced at Hu Tu and said timidly: "Do you still want to eat it? I've left a few for you."

Hu Tu felt quite helpless. It was clearly because she had not had time to finish it. It was clearly because Hu Tu would be wiped out ten minutes later, but he opened his eyes and said lies. However, this also shows from one side that these strawberries are indeed delicious, which is a good thing. He said: "Mom, you don't eat dinner. If you eat so many strawberries, aren't you afraid of indigestion?"

Xu Suwan rubbed her stomach and said, "The main reason is that you said that the strawberries are not sprayed with pesticides, and such fruits cannot be put in place. If you don't finish them early, would you keep them and let them break?"

Hu Tu really wanted to say that this was an excuse, all of them were excuses. He said, "Is it really delicious? Then you don't keep it. You can make breakfast tomorrow, or you can take it to your workplace to share it with your colleagues!"

"It's okay to keep it for breakfast." Xu Suwan put the remaining strawberries, "If you take them to work, you'll be snatched away." Her expression was like an aggrieved hamster, very funny.
