"Mom, what's the matter?"

"You'll know when the time comes."

After Yuntao finished her work for the past few days, she went back to the fields.

"Erli, where is Yinggu?"

Erli felt very embarrassed, thinking that Yinggu had done something wrong.

"Don't be nervous. I went to see Aunt Ying to ask her to do something. Don't be so nervous."

Erli brought Yinggu over.

"Aunt Ying, they all say you are good at planting."

Aunt Ying felt embarrassed when she heard this.

"Aunt San, you think too highly of me. I just take care of it more carefully than others. I am a good hand because they think highly of me and flatter me."

"These seedlings are called strawberries, but they are different varieties. You must separate them when you plant them. You must plant them in a greenhouse because the weather is cold and they will easily freeze to death outside."

"There are only two varieties now, Hongyan and Hongxiu. The taste of these two varieties is a little different."

"Aunt, I've never done this before. I don't understand it. I've never even heard of it. I'm afraid I won't be able to plant it well. What if the plants die?"

"These look very expensive. I don't think we can afford them."

"It is indeed expensive to sell, but don't worry. I will teach you how to plant it step by step and what you need to pay attention to during the planting period."

"If there's any problem, come to me."

"Another very important thing is that this strawberry grows very quickly, so don't plant it too thinly. Also, make sure to take good care of it so that others can't steal it. If it's stolen, I won't be able to sell it at a high price."

When Aunt Ying heard what her aunt said, she lost confidence. It was too precious. If it died, wouldn't she be guilty?

Yuntao also noticed Yinggu's worry.

'Can you read, Aunt Ying?'

"Aunt, I know a little bit, but not much."

Aunt Ying lowered her head in embarrassment.

"It's best to learn as many characters as possible. If you don't understand something, ask your elder brother, the second brother, and the third brother. They will teach you. If you know the characters, you can read the book and learn. This is much more convenient."

I will teach you how to plant it now, take a good look at it yourself.

Yuntao taught Yinggu how to grow strawberries very seriously, doing it herself, and even explained the details of the soil and watering.

"Now look carefully. If there is anything unclear, be sure to ask me immediately. If you are unsure about something, ask me. Don't worry. I will come to check on you often."

Aunt Ying was still very nervous. This was her first time growing this. And it was so expensive. How could she not be nervous?

After watching Yinggu planting several times, Yuntao found that the operation was correct, so she left without staying in the field for long.

After finishing planting, Aunt Ying was very happy to see the results of her labor and felt quite proud.

After a tiring day, I finally succeeded.

When Yinggu returned home, she saw her father looking at her.

"Girl, what did your aunt ask you to plant? She specifically asked you to plant it."

"Dad, my aunt asked me to plant something called strawberry. She said it's a kind of fruit that sells for a very high price."

"They said that it takes a careful person to take care of this thing, and they called me. Dad, does Aunt think highly of me? Otherwise, why wouldn't she call me instead of so many others? I feel happy and tired today."

"Dad, if I behave well, will Aunt let me work in the workshop or be a small manager?"

Erli looked at his girl.

"Wouldn't it be great if you could take good care of the strawberries in the field? Wouldn't it be a sign of respect for you to be entrusted with such expensive strawberries?"

"And after you grow them, we're the only ones who can grow them, isn't that good?"

Yinggu thought about it and agreed.

Nothing more was said. Erli was very happy anyway, because it meant that his daughter had caught the eye of her aunt.

As soon as Yun Tao returned home, she saw Da Niu, Er Niu, San Niu and the lady leisurely eating strawberries in the hall.

Sanniu said with a puffy mouth: "Mom, you have such delicious fruit, why don't you take it out in advance? My God, it's delicious, sour and sweet, very delicious."

The lady was also very happy and said: "Mom, not only does it taste good, it also looks great. Girls will definitely like it. If I sell it, it will definitely be a big hit. It also smells very sweet. I like it so much."

"Mom, I really love you. If I could eat such delicious strawberries every day, I would be so happy. I would even be happy to carry manure every day."

Yun Tao was also amused, "Lady, you said this yourself. Do you want to carry manure every day, or am I the one who forced you to do it?"

"Mom, you didn't force me to do this. I did it of my own accord. I am willing, and so is our Daniu."

"Mom, you're not planning on selling this, are you?"

"Daniu, you are smart. I am planning to sell them. I plan to sell two pots tomorrow, 2 taels of silver per catty."

The four were shocked when they heard Yun Tao's offer.

"Mom, I don't want to eat it anymore. You should sell all of it. Oh my god, the four of us just ate hundreds of taels of silver, oh my god."

Yun Tao smiled and said, "Yes, you four just ate hundreds of taels of silver, there is nothing wrong with that."

"Remember, my strawberries are not for nothing. Remember to work."

The four of them smiled knowingly.

"Sanniu, when you go to sell tomorrow, you must do it yourself. When you sell them, you must place the strawberries the same way I place them. Don't let others rummage through them."

"The strawberries were displayed in boxes, and you had to buy them one box at a time. One box contained one jin, and each box cost 10 taels of silver."

"In addition, we cut a small tray from the outside to give people free samples. The samples are free. In this way, if they taste it and feel it is delicious, they will buy it. If it is not delicious, they will not buy it."

"When selling food in the future, all new products should be sold this way. The sales effect will be better this way."

"Mom, this will waste a lot of strawberries. We might even be able to sell them for several taels of silver."

"We don't call this waste, we call this playing the long game to catch the big fish."

"Sanniu, you can't catch a wolf without sacrificing your cub."

"Okay, mother, I understand."

"Mother, Xiao Cui got married. It seems she married a scholar. I didn't see her when I went to the capital before. I only found out about it because the maidservant beside Miss Shuqi was replaced."

Yun Tao sighed, "You still resent mother, don't you? I didn't buy you a house. If I had bought you a house, you would have been married a long time ago. Is that what you mean?"

"Mom, I didn't mean that. I just said that she came to me the day before, but she got married the next day. I'm just very depressed. Women are really fickle."
