Good mountains, good water, good people

Not long after Laba, it will be Xiaonian.

The green vegetables in their shed have already been picked twice and sold in the town, so it is convenient to bring things to the town to sell. Gu Changning also went to the electric car shop in their town to buy a gasoline-powered tricycle. It cost more than 6000 yuan to buy this tricycle. When the family asked him how much the car cost, he dared not tell the truth, and only reported more than 2000 yuan.

But I have to say that the more expensive one is better, this car has a strong climbing ability and a large load capacity. There is a long slope on the road from the town to their village. If the electric tricycle carries too heavy things, it may not be able to get on it. If you go, you don't have to worry about the oil-powered tricycle.It costs more than 6000 to buy one for peace of mind. At least they don’t have to get out of the car to push it because they can’t get up on the hillside.

Since they had this car, it was much more convenient for their family to carry things to the town to sell, and he didn't have to ask others to borrow the car or bother others, which saved a lot of trouble.

It happened that the price of vegetables was high at this time of the end of the year, and the vegetables he pulled out were also sold at a good price.However, compared with his investment in renting land and building a greenhouse, the little money for selling vegetables is less than a drop in the bucket.

But what Gu Changning is looking forward to more is the strawberries in his two greenhouses. The price of strawberries is relatively high, and a catty of strawberries can equal the price of ten catties of vegetables. See if the strawberries in his two sheds can be sold for money.

Under their day-by-day expectation, the small strawberries grew into big strawberries, and the color gradually changed from green to red. The red strawberries were as beautiful as rubies, and exuded an attractive fragrance. scent.

As soon as the strawberries in the shed are ripe, large pieces are ripe, and the strawberries must be picked as soon as they are ripe, otherwise ants and insects will bite and eat them if left on them.

In order to pack these strawberries, Gu Changning went to the wholesale market and bought a carload of foam boxes to pack the strawberries, otherwise the strawberries would be easily bumped during transportation.This thing will rot as soon as it is bumped, and the price will drop when it rots. If you don’t eat the rotten fruit of the day, it will be broken the next day. Therefore, in order to minimize the loss, the money for buying boxes cannot be saved.

From planting the strawberries in these two large sheds to now, they have devoted 12 points to serving them, hoping that these strawberries will be ripe and sold at a good price.Now that the strawberries are finally ripe, I hope to sell them for a good price!

They picked strawberries in the shed before dawn. Except for his grandma who didn't get up so early, the whole family went to the back mountain to pick strawberries before dawn. We came together There are also people who usually work on his side, Gu Changning has notified everyone in advance to come and help earlier.

"Everyone pick it carefully, and handle it gently when picking it up. Be careful not to break it. Take out the broken ones and the ones that are too small. If you pick a full basket, bring it here to me."

"Hey, I know."

Gu Changning also went to pick strawberries for a while, so he came here to pack the boxes together with his mother. A foam box can hold just five catties of strawberries. In addition to the weight of the box, you need to put a few more to make it heavy enough. .They didn't do business like this once. He didn't want customers to come back to him for a refund because of this kind of insufficient weight. Xiaoliang Town is just that big. They do business in the town, and their reputation is a thing. very important stuff.

He didn't intend to sell these strawberries from his family to fruit sellers. He planned to take them to the town to sell them like he sold vegetables last time. It happened to be this time in recent years. There are quite a lot of people on the streets of the town every day, but they don't know strawberries. It's so expensive that no one is willing to buy it.

"The strawberry in our house is so big." Mama Gu looked at it holding a big strawberry, smiling so hard that she almost lost her eyesight, "Looking at this bright red fruit is festive, and it smells delicious!"

It is true that the strawberries in their family grow very big. I don’t know if it’s because of this variety, or because they take good care of them, or because of his Lingxi water. Anyway, their strawberries grow very well, and they are big. , Still sweet.Gu Changning pinched a big strawberry and wiped it on his clothes, then handed it to his mother's mouth, "Mom, taste it to see if it's sweet."

"Hey, you kid, why did you bring me such a big strawberry." When everything touched her mouth, Gu's mother was taken aback for a moment before seeing their child stuff him with such a big strawberry, "We've already eaten it , why don’t you know if it’s sweet or not?”

"Eat it, it's okay, we planted it ourselves, can I let you eat a bigger strawberry?" In fact, since the strawberries were ripe in the past two days, Gu Changning picked them once and went home Eat it, and mixed it with the strawberries he grew in the space, and the whole family said it was delicious.After eating the strawberries produced in the space, he also felt that eating these own strawberries was very ordinary.

But this ordinary strawberry, compared with the strawberries sold by others outside, must be their strawberries. These strawberries in their house have not been sprayed with any pesticides or ripening agents since they were planted. They are naturally ripe. The fruits sold outside are not comparable to their fruits at all.

"You child, don't do this next time, our strawberries will be sold for money." After everything was brought to her lips, Mother Gu could only secretly accept the child's wishes, and took the strawberries in two or three mouthfuls. After eating it in her stomach, she was ashamed to let others see it, for fear that others would taste it just like her.

These strawberries are all sold for money, if they are all eaten up, how can they be sold for money?

"Yes yes yes." Gu Changning replied with a smile.

When packing strawberries, he took a group of strawberries with his mobile phone. Some of them picked strawberries, and some took photos of strawberries. The most important thing was to take pictures of the strawberries in the field. He didn’t edit the pictures. Nine good-looking ones were posted on Moments, and there was a line of advertisements on it: Strawberries grown at home, without spraying pesticides or ripening agents, ripening naturally, pregnant women, children and the elderly can eat, 190 per box (net weight five catties), Free shipping from two boxes, welcome to order.

A group of people worked for more than two minutes before picking and packing all the ripe strawberries.

There was also a small basket next to it, which contained unboxed fruits, which were bitten by insects or were too small. Gu Changning poured half of them out for everyone to wash and eat. When you take it to sell, give it to those who want to buy it.

There were not many strawberries in the two sheds after picking, and the foam boxes filled with strawberries filled half of the car, and the remaining half of the space was filled with vegetables, which just filled the car.

Everyone washed their hands after finishing their work and then went to eat breakfast. Today’s breakfast is eaten at their place. Generally, if they come to work too early, they will provide a breakfast here, and they will still provide lunch here.

Mama Gu has always been in charge of the cooking. Now that she has to cook and feed the pigs every day, Mama Gu basically doesn't have much time to spare.

Because he was still rushing to the town to sell things, Gu Changning hurriedly picked up half a bowl of noodles and was about to leave. Seeing that his father had finished eating, he said to his family: "Grandpa, grandma, mom, I'm leaving with my dad."

"Oh, go ahead, drive slowly." Mother Gu urged.

"It's finished so soon, don't you want to eat more?" Grandpa asked.

"I'm full. Eat slowly, everyone. I'm leaving first." Gu Changning waved to everyone, and called his father to go with him.It happened that two people could sit in the front of the car. He sat in the middle, and his father sat on the side. He drove his father away in a tricycle.

There were strawberries in the back of the car, so Gu Changning didn't dare to drive too fast along the way. Fortunately, the road out of their village has been paved with cement. If it was the same muddy road as before, the strawberries in this car would be bumpy I'm afraid more than half of it will rot if I go out.

Now the road is flat, and the car doesn't bump too much all the way out. If you drive carefully, you don't have to worry about it getting bumped.

When the father and son drove out to the town, it was already bright outside.

At this time in the morning, people will come to the vegetable market to buy vegetables. Last time they came to the town to sell vegetables twice. Gu Changning knew that there was a lot of traffic near the vegetable market at this time in the morning, so he drove his tricycle to the market. At the intersection where the vegetable market comes in, there is an avenue in front, and the vegetable market is inside.

"Father, let's sell it here." After braking the car, Gu Changning pulled out the car key and looked left and right to see if there was any urban management figure.

Probably this time in the morning is still early, and the urban management has not yet gone to work, so there is no need to worry about encountering urban management at this time.

The father and son chose a good place to set up a stall. Gu Changning inserted the sign on the car. This sign was made by someone he hired. It was a photo of the vegetables and strawberries in their greenhouse. There was also a price posted on it, five yuan a catty of green vegetables , 38 pounds of strawberries.

Vegetables are expensive at this time of the end of the year, and the price of four or five yuan per catty is not uncommon.However, the price of their strawberries is a little more expensive than ordinary strawberries outside, but their strawberries are also bigger than other strawberries, and they look good.

"Sell vegetables and sell vegetables, fresh vegetables and strawberries, come quickly if you want to buy them." Gu Changning yelled skillfully, while opening the lid of the foam box, there was a large box of strawberries, neatly arranged one by one. nice.

There is also a basket on the side that picks out not so good strawberries, which is for others to taste.

Village head Gu also yelled along with his son. The father and son had already put down their face from the embarrassment of doing business the first time.

"Hey, you guys are finally here. I also said why I haven't seen you guys selling vegetables for so long."

"Hello, what do you want to buy?"

The old customers passing by recognized the father and son. Last time, she bought a bundle of green vegetables from the father and son. The grandson of their family who didn’t like vegetables the most ate two chopsticks. She went here to look for the father and son to sell vegetables, but after searching for a long time, she couldn't find anyone. After asking, she found out that the father and son came here to sell vegetables every day.
