Chapter 17 Different Strawberries

It’s not enough to just post a comment, Xia Wu also specially filmed a video.

In the video, she walks from her home to the strawberry field, showing the audience the surrounding environment. "This is the second batch of strawberries I've planted. I'm also planning to raise a box of bees. Mr. Pu, who was in yesterday's video, raises native bees in the mountains around here. The honey he makes is of very good quality."

As she was speaking, a bee flew over. Xia Wu subconsciously stretched out her hand, and the bee landed on her palm. The camera moved in closely, clearly capturing the details of the native bee. Xia Wu then introduced the differences between native bees and foreign bees.

She discovered that this bumblebee was not an isolated case. In the beehive that was silent last night, there were already some busy bees, as if they were familiarizing themselves with the place.

"At this rate, it won't be long before honey is produced!"

Xia Wu was very happy. Not only that, the second batch of strawberries also began to bloom, providing a source of nectar for the elves in the fields.

After this little episode, Xia Wu walked to the edge of the strawberry field and showed everyone her strawberry seedlings. Each one was healthy and strong. "My dad got up early this morning and has already picked a batch. If you want to taste the strawberries, please sign up in the comments section. I'll pick them, pack them, and send them out by express delivery the day after tomorrow at the latest."

After the video was released, due to the popularity of the previous video, this video was quickly discovered and commented on.

"Really? Are you really going to give me some strawberries? I'll give you one!"

"And me! I want to try it too!"

Xia Wu patiently replied in the comment section: "I don't just need you to taste it, I also need you to prove the taste of the strawberries to me. I need you to write a review or post a video. Are you willing to do that?"

Some people said they were willing, while others felt it wasn't worth it for a few strawberries. They were just chatting animatedly in the comment section without much sincerity.

A message suddenly popped up in the background, and Xia Wu clicked to read it.

A small cloud: "Hello Xia Xia, I want to sign up for the strawberry tasting event. I can provide my impressions and, if necessary, I can also help you send a video. I hope you will consider me. My address is xx Road, xx District, Beijing..."

This is exactly the kind of sincere online friend Xia Wu wants! Without hesitation, Xia Wu replied, "Sure! Thank you very much. I'll send it out within three days and send you the tracking number then."

Li Yun, who was sitting at his workstation, felt inexplicably excited after seeing the reply. "Okay, I look forward to tasting the strawberries you planted soon."

In the past few days, Li Yun has been following the blogger "Xia Xia in the Mountains". The last time she recommended him to her supervisor, she was rejected twice. Each time, Xu Zhiyi's tone was not very good, which made Li Yun's heart sink.

She knew that she had no advantage over the new interns. She had a low level of education, was not good-looking, and was not very good at speaking. She also didn't know if she could make it to the day when she was hired as a regular employee.

But Kuaidou Company is the ceiling of the companies that Li Yun can enter.

She didn't want to lose this position and wanted to gain a foothold in a big city as soon as possible.

The only way Li Yun could think of to become a regular employee was to sign a potential video blogger, as long as her abilities could be noticed by her supervisor.

So Li Yun regarded Xia Xia as a life-saving straw. After get off work, she would even write an analysis to prove that Xia Xia's track was not crowded, so Xia Xia could easily stand out among many video bloggers.

She set Xia Xia as a special follower, and she would watch it as soon as Xia Xia updated a video.

She also watched the strawberry harvest video that Xia Xia posted yesterday. She didn’t think it was a script or acting. On the contrary, she thought it was filmed very realistically.

The old man Xia Xia calls "Grandpa Pu" hadn't appeared in the video before, and the strawberry field remained the same as in the previous video. The biggest problem was that the picked strawberries looked no different from those sold at the market, but the people in the video all had unusual reactions after eating them.

Xia Xia’s technique in shooting the video of washing strawberries is also superb, and even through the screen, it makes people want to taste them.

But video only has vision, not taste or smell.

So many viewers thought Xia Xia was cheating. Strawberries are no longer the rare fruit that the public could not afford to eat a dozen or twenty years ago. Once winter comes, strawberries are in abundance and can be seen everywhere.

Everyone has eaten strawberries and knows what they taste like. It’s not as exaggerated as in Xia Xia’s video.

Xia Xia is still a new blogger, and the audiences entering the scene are all new. There are no die-hard fans to speak for her, so the comment section will naturally show a one-sided trend of questioning.

Li Yun believed Xia Xia, but she was not a big blogger. Even if she spoke for Xia Xia at this time, she would only be drowned out by the doubts.

Fortunately, Xia Xia decided to fight back and came up with the idea of ​​tasting the strawberries.

Li Yun immediately decided to sign up. Seeing is believing, hearing is not. As long as Xia Xia's video is real, she will post a video to prove it for Xia Xia!

Mr. Pu, who lived in the mountains, did not sleep well that night. Early the next morning, he came down the mountain carrying half a jar of honey.

"This is wild osmanthus honey from the mountains. There isn't much of it, and I only save up two jars a year. I'll give one to Xiao Wu to try."

"Uncle Park, now that you're here, why are you still so polite? This jar of honey is at least..."

"Hey, don't mention money! I'm not short of money. What about Xiao Wu?" Mr. Pu quickly stopped Yang Guojun from talking. He didn't like to hear these things. Xiao Wu was still the best girl. She would accept whatever was given to her and would not be polite to others.

Yang Guojun cherished it immensely. He put the wild osmanthus honey back home and sighed, "Don't mention it anymore. Didn't Xiao Wu want to contract a farm the last time she came back from your place? She was thinking of making videos to earn some money so she could contract a farm. Xiao Wen and her brother and sister tinkered with it for a while, and we did make the videos, and quite a few people watched them. But when I posted a video of ripe strawberries yesterday, those people said it was fake again. Xiao Wu was so angry."

"Well, I'm trying to prove that the strawberries we grow are delicious!"

After hearing this, Mr. Pu slapped his thigh and said anxiously: "These people are just saying sour grapes because they can't eat them!"

He knew better than anyone how delicious Xia Wu's strawberries were, otherwise he wouldn't have been craving them all night! Thinking that he seemed to have eaten a little too much yesterday, he felt guilty and had to bring his treasured honey early in the morning before he could eat them again.

"Xiao Wu, how are you going to prove it? If you need Mr. Park, just tell me. Don't be shy!"

Mr. Pu found Xia Wu and was extremely sincere.

Xia Wu was watering the strawberries when she heard this and said with a smile, "Mr. Pu, come and see, there are bees in the beehive!"

"I've already figured out how to resolve this matter. I'll find some netizens and treat them to strawberries so they can testify on my behalf."

Mr. Park was shocked at first, and then shocked again.

He was surprised that these picky wild bees could install themselves in the new place so quickly, and he was also surprised that Xia Wu wanted to give such delicious strawberries to others!

"Those people got such a good deal!" Mr. Park was heartbroken!

If all this is shared with others, won’t he be left with nothing?

Xia Wu found it funny and invited Master Pu to her home. "We've picked all the ripe ones today. The weather is warm, so strawberries ripen quickly. There should be enough for us to eat."

Mr. Park pondered for a moment and said, "Xiao Wu, where can you shoot the video and post it? I'll show it to Mr. Park."

Xia Wu didn't feel embarrassed to show it to others. He went back to the room to get the computer and turned on the video for Mr. Pu to watch.

Mr. Park ate strawberries while watching and kept praising the show.

After reading it, he said to Xia Wu, "How about you create an account for me too? It looks really interesting."

Of course Xia Wu wouldn't refuse and asked Mr. Pu to take out his phone. The next second, she almost lost her composure: "Mr. Pu, what kind of phone is this? It can't connect to the internet!"

"Really?" Mr. Park scratched his head. "Aren't cell phones just for making calls? My cell phone can make calls."

Xia Wu waved her hand: "No, no, look at our phones, they are all smart phones. They can have more functions if they can be connected to the Internet."

She opened the Kuaishou short video app and swiped it. Grandpa Pu's eyes widened. There were such good things at the foot of the mountain!

“I need to change my phone,” Park Ye muttered to himself.

"Okay, how about I go to town with you to buy it?"

"No, no, I'll just ask someone to buy one for me."

Mr. Park didn't stay long this time and hurried home.

Xia Wu bought some fruit foam nets and foam boxes online. He placed the order nearby and they are expected to arrive in two days.

On his way home, Mr. Park dialed a phone number.

"Hello? Yunzhou?"

"Mr. Park, it's me. What's wrong with you?" On the other end of the phone, Ji Yunzhou closed the book. He was a little surprised to receive a call from Mr. Park at this time.

"Yunzhou, are you using that smartphone?"

"yes."

"Can I watch the video?"

Ji Yunzhou: “?” A question mark appeared on his forehead. He didn’t know why Master Pu asked this, but he still answered honestly: “It’s worth watching.”

"Then when can you come back and bring me a smartphone? Or why not come over in the next couple of days? I have something good for you!"

Ji Yunzhou raised the corner of his lips and asked, "What good things have you found in the mountains again?"

"Hey, this time they weren't found in the mountains. They were found by Old Man Yang's granddaughter. You met her last time. She said she wanted to grow strawberries, and she actually succeeded. They're delicious. Come and try some."

Ji Yunzhou lives in a sanatorium in town. Every month he takes time to stay in Master Pu's mountain for a few days. After calculating the time carefully, it seems that he should go there.

Every time he went to Mr. Park's house, he would bring him some daily necessities to save Mr. Park the trouble of going down the mountain.

Mr. Pu loves food. He likes to make delicious food when he has nothing to do. Everything he eats is natural and pollution-free. He is very picky. Since he said that the strawberries made by Xia Wu are delicious, it must be true.

Ji Yunzhou thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll go there tomorrow."

"Then don't forget to buy me a smartphone."

"I won't forget it."

After hanging up the phone, Ji Yunzhou immediately called his life assistant and asked him to go to the town to buy a smartphone for Mr. Pu.

The next day, Ji Yunzhou arrived as promised and immediately delivered the smartphone with the SIM card installed to Mr. Park.

The grandfather and grandson sat next to each other. Grandpa Pu played with his phone curiously and asked Ji Yunzhou: "There's that thing in here, do you want to shake it?"

Ji Yunzhou swipe to the Kuaishou APP and click on it.

“You still have to log in.”

"Just log in with your phone number by default."

"What should we name it?" asked Mr. Park.

"Just call me Master Park."

"That's fine, Mr. Pu from the mountain."

Ji Yunzhou helped him register an account, "Mr. Park, what content do you want to see?"

"Please help me find Xiao Wu's account. Her name is Xia Xia from the mountains," Mr. Pu smiled and urged him to find it quickly.

Ji Yunzhou was curious, but he didn't ask. After finding the account, he clicked to follow.

Mr. Park asked, "Is it her?"

"That should be it."

“Watch her videos.”

Ji Yunzhou followed his instructions and clicked on the video, and it was indeed Xia Wu.

Ji Yunzhou also reacted: "She is making videos for self-media?"

"What is self-media?" Mr. Park didn't understand.

Ji Yunzhou explained to him the meaning of self-media.

Mr. Pu immediately said, "Yes, yes, can you make money by being a self-media person? If so, then yes. Her father told me yesterday that Xiao Wu wanted to rent a house and was making money by shooting videos."

Up to now, Xia Wu has shot five videos in a month, and the response has been very good, but in the latest two videos...

Before he could figure out what was going on, Mr. Park explained the whole process in a few words.

"Don't you think these people are ridiculous? You can only know whether strawberries are delicious after you eat them. They haven't even tried them, but they say Xiao Wu's strawberries are not delicious. It's infuriating! Wait until I make a video to say good things about her!"

After a long time, it turns out that Mr. Park wanted a mobile phone for this reason.

Ji Yunzhou found it a little funny. Although the old man was old, his mentality was still like that of a child. He regarded Xia Wu as a friend and was willing to go through fire and water for his friend.

"Well, Yunzhou, I'm going to owe you the wild osmanthus honey that Master Pu promised last time. Tell your master about it."

Ji Yunzhou: "Hmm? Where's Mi?"

"Hehe, they asked me to give it to Xiao Wu."

Ji Yunzhou: “…”

"Let's go down the mountain and take a look. I'll let you taste the strawberries she grows. I'm not kidding, they're delicious!"

The matter was done and Ji Yunzhou had no choice.

After having dinner and taking a nap on the mountain, Ji Yunzhou was woken up by Mr. Pu.

"Let's go down the mountain. The strawberries should be ripe by now."

He skillfully put a straw hat on Ji Yunzhou and pushed the wheelchair down the mountain.

The winding road up the mountain was easy to walk on. After walking for half an hour, the two finally arrived at the village.

After walking for a long time, they found Yang Guojun's house. Old man Yang was free today and did not go out to see patients. He sat on the cement block at the door, crossed his legs and smoked a pipe.

Seeing Mr. Pu and Ji Yunzhou was as rare as seeing the sun rise from the west. "Why are you two here?"

Inviting Ji Yunzhou to go inside and rest, Master Pu couldn't sit still and looked for Xia Wu: "Where's Xiao Wu? Isn't she home?"

"She went to town to pick up a package and should be back soon. Why are you looking for her?"

"Hey, didn't Xiao Wu say last time that she would let Yun Zhou taste the strawberries when they were ripe? Now that he's here, I thought of taking him out to relax and have him taste some of Xiao Wu's strawberries."

Being used as an excuse, Ji Yunzhou could only smile and remain silent.

Of course, Mr. Yang didn't understand. He went into the house, took out a porcelain bowl and handed it to Mr. Pu. "Go pick them yourself in the fields. Don't pick too many. Xiao Wu needs to send them out to netizens for tasting."

"I know, but can I be the one who doesn't know the difference between the important and the unimportant?"

While saying polite words, Mr. Park did not slow down at all as he went to the field to pick strawberries.

Old Master Yang had a look of seeing through everything. He laughed and said to Ji Yunzhou, "Try it later. The strawberries grown by Xiao Wu are indeed delicious."
