Chapter 101 Sending Things

"Brother, if all the strawberries in our village ripen at the same time, will the supermarket be able to eat so many?"

After Uncle Ye finished eating the figs, he picked up a bunch of grapes. These grapes were much bigger than the ones at home, and they were sweet and fragrant. He put them into his mouth one by one.

I kept thinking about going back to see if I could ask my second brother for some fertilizer to add to the grapes at home.

"I've asked about this. As long as the strawberries in our village grow well, the supermarket is so big that we can't eat them all in the city, but we have plenty elsewhere."

Uncle Ye listened to what Father Ye said, and his worries were put to rest. He then asked:

"There are so many strawberries. How do we transport them? Should we hire someone to transport them or should the supermarket send someone to collect them? The strawberries have thin skin and lots of juice. If the distance is too far, will they go bad during transportation?"

Uncle Ye became more and more worried as he spoke. Not to mention the villagers, the strawberries in his field were really much bigger. He had been working outside for many years and had seen other people's strawberries, but they were incomparable to those grown in the village.

Now that the output has increased, will people lower the price?

After all, the citrus fruits that Ye Dajun used to grow were heavily discounted by fruit merchants for this reason, and many of them rotted on the trees every year.

Strawberries are delicate and easily spoil during transportation, and they are not as durable in storage as oranges.

Father Ye frowned slightly as he listened. "I have asked the supermarket buyers about this. They are here to buy the strawberries, but the supermarket should have a solution to the problem of strawberries going bad during transportation. At most, they can just pack them more tightly."

"Don't worry, we just need to sell it, we can't take care of anything else."

Father Ye waved his hand, signaling Uncle Ye not to worry.

"They are in the high-end fruit business, so they must have a way. It's not our turn to worry about it. Just put your mind at ease!"

The villagers have never been involved in this business, and they are all worried. They worry that the strawberries will be difficult to grow after they are planted, and they are worried about various diseases and insect pests after they grow. After they finally grow fruits, they are worried that there will be too many fruits to sell and they are afraid that the fruit merchants will lower the price. So it is really difficult for farmers.

It’s no joke that low fruit prices hurt farmers.

It is also thanks to the Ye family's belief in Ye Zhen and their broad-mindedness. Otherwise, if everyone planted strawberries together and they didn't grow well, would the villagers blame Ye Zhen in their hearts and words?

"Uncle, our strawberries are of a good variety. The skin of the fruit is not as thin as other strawberries. They are durable in transportation and will not be damaged even if left for half a month."

Ye Zhen took Zhou Lan, Qian Fen and the others for a walk through the backyard. Along the way, they kept exclaiming in surprise, and it felt like their eyes were not enough.

Her mouth was not idle either. If she had just finished her meal and her stomach was full, Zhou Lan would have sat under the fruit tree in the backyard and eaten until she was bald.

The food was delicious, and the fruit was so delicious that she couldn't even describe it. Her stomach was filled with the aroma of fruit.

Every time you sip it in your mouth, you can smell the fruity aroma and floral fragrance!

Especially Qianfen, their hometown is rich in fruits, and most of the fruits in the country can be found there. Due to geographical reasons, the fruits are fragrant and sweet, and are quite famous throughout the country.

Although her family is not a fruit farmer, they are always short of delicious fruits. To be honest, they are almost sick of eating so much fruit. They feed chickens and ducks every year, so what can they do with the fruit?

This was Qian Fen’s thought before she saw the fruits grown by Ye Zhen, but she just realized that she was ignorant.

It turns out that top-quality fruits are so delicious. I feel happy after eating them, and my physical fatigue is reduced a lot.

No wonder it’s so expensive!

Zhou Lan was even more determined. If her strawberries were half as good as this, then why would she need to work? She could just come back and farm with Ye Zi!

"Second sister-in-law, your family has produced a lot of fruits. You will definitely make a lot of money this time!" Zhou Lan praised sincerely.

"Second sister-in-law, you are good at teaching children. Ye Zi is indeed a college student. How can we make money by digging for food in the fields?"

Ye's mother smiled modestly: "It's all the children's own hard work. We didn't teach them anything."

"Hey, Sister Xu, please be polite. Your family has a way out this time by growing fruits." Qian Fen echoed Zhou Lan and kept praising Ye's mother, making Ye's mother grin and laugh loudly. She laughed all the way.

When Ye Zhen brought them back to the front yard, they happened to hear Uncle Ye worrying about the fruit being rotten.

She is familiar with this!

"Don't worry, uncle. This variety is resistant to transportation and has a firm peel, so it won't go bad." Otherwise, her many efforts to transform and optimize it with spiritual energy and vitality would have been in vain.

She experimented with these seeds many times, filling pots with soil in her room. After optimizing them with spiritual energy each time, she picked one or two seeds to induce growth. She wrote down the results of each optimization.

These seeds have different optimized growth directions, and a little bit of the leaves are retained each time. Some are optimized for yield, some are fruity and fragrant, and some are resistant to transportation and storage, etc.

The fruits grown for the village are selected by combining several changes. They grow fast, are not picky about fertilizer, have large fruits, high yields and strong fruity aroma, and most importantly, they are durable in storage.

Since Ye Zhen said so, Uncle Ye has nothing to worry about.

Grandpa Ye sat nearby, puffing on his cigarette, and asked Dad Ye:

"You are responsible for taking care of the strawberries in the village, but be sure to pay attention." If you don't do it well, you will offend people.

"Don't worry, Grandpa. The fruit is easy to take care of, but it may be liked by wild animals." Ye Zhen looked at Grandpa Ye and promised.

As for those strawberries that are beyond the range, Ye Zhen plans to take a look in the afternoon and prepare to set up some formations for them separately.

It’s not too troublesome. You can just go to the waterfall in the mountains and find some things that contain the elements of heaven and earth, such as stones that have been washed by water for many years.

…

Qian Fen is going back tomorrow. People have given her so many gifts, and Ye's mother was not stingy. She packed all the fruits and delicacies in the house.

Dried bamboo shoots picked in spring, dried ferns, dried beans and pickled peppers.

Grandma Ye pickled vegetables and salted duck eggs. I heard that people like to eat mushrooms, so I brought all the dried mushrooms at home, and some bacon...

A lot of bags were packed into a big sack, and Ye Zhen felt numb just looking at it. How could they take so many back?

"Mom, that's enough. Sister Qian can't take it back, and it's troublesome to take the train or high-speed rail." Ye Zhen stopped the other person's hand from trying to put it into the bag.

"What should we do? We have to pack everything. People have given us so many things, we can't be stingy!" Mother Ye stared at the big bag on the ground worriedly.

Ye Zhen actually has a solution: "Just mail it!"

"It just so happens that I want to send some fruits to the kind person who helped me in Jincheng before. You can take out some of the things and I will mail them out later."

Before Ye Ma and the others came to the hospital, those kind-hearted people were there to take care of them, find good nurses, and even deliver meals to the hospital.

"I will drive Sister Qian to the train station. You can put the rest in my car. When we get to the station, Sister Qian will ask someone to take it back. In other words, Sister Qian will need to pick it up when the train arrives at the station."

Mother Ye slapped her thigh and said, "Okay! Then I'll pack some fresh vegetables and bring them over. People even praised our dishes for being delicious."

Well, the more you install, the more you have!
