Chapter 131 Purchasing Strawberries
The mountain breeze was blowing gently, and baskets of strawberries were placed on the flat ground in the village. The fragrance of the strawberries was in the air, and the villagers were smiling all the time.
After picking strawberries, the villagers were no longer in a hurry and waited for the bus to arrive. They sat in groups of three or four under the shade of the trees and chatted.
Ye Zhen's family planted a lot of strawberries, so they found a few people to help, and the whole family could take a break.
She helped put the strawberries on the edge of the field. Little Brother Ye came over on a tricycle, put the strawberries into the tricycle, and then he pushed forward to the flat ground.
The ridges of the fields were narrow and only a few small tricycles could pass through. Little Brother Ye was like an industrious bee, transporting the fruits one trip at a time.
"Brother, have you finished picking the strawberries?" Uncle Ye's family didn't grow as many strawberries as Ye Zhen's. For fear of wasting time, he made up his mind and paid people to help, so they picked the strawberries quickly.
"It will be almost done after these few trips." Dad Ye stood up and looked at the remaining land.
Uncle Ye packed up his things, left Aunt Ye to watch over them, and came over to help his family pick the fruits.
With one more person, the speed was even faster. Uncle Ye stood on the ground and sighed:
"Brother, this year we are all in good hands thanks to Ye Zi. If we sell all the strawberries, even if Dongzi's foot can't be cured, we won't have to worry about making money in the future."
Father Ye smiled: "That's nothing. Life will be easier in the future! When we make money, we can tear down the house and rebuild it. We can have whatever we want!" He is now mysteriously confident in Ye Zhen. He can succeed in whatever he does without worrying about anything.
Uncle Ye's face was flushed with joy at Ye's father's vision and he nodded.
Soon after the strawberries were picked, large trucks drove over.
The person in charge of purchasing fruits and vegetables for the sports meeting this time is Wang Hui's cousin Wang Li. He had been recommended to buy fruits and vegetables by his cousin a long time ago, and this time he came in person just to see the growing areas.
The other teams are responsible for purchasing other fruits. He is not worried because there are others in charge.
He didn't have to come originally, but because he was very curious about the exquisite fruits and vegetables mentioned by his cousin Wang Xin, he came here in the purchasing car.
I thought that if the fruit was really good, it would bring honor to athletes from all over the world.
Their country can also grow such excellent fruits, and they don’t have to import them from other countries at high prices!
The village chief and a group of villagers came to receive them:
"Hello!"
"Hello, Village Chief Ye!" After Wang Li greeted everyone, he got down to business.
Time is really tight. The opening ceremony of the Games will be the day after tomorrow. Athletes from all over the world need to prepare food and accommodation, and fruits and other things are definitely indispensable. Transportation and preparation on the road will also take time.
Although I have known for a long time that the fruits from Shanbei Village are delicious, I was still surprised when I saw them with my own eyes. The strawberries looked perfect on the outside. Each one was heart-shaped, with plump flesh and beautiful color. I could smell the fragrance of the fruit from afar.
Wang Li secretly swallowed his saliva and ordered professionals to bring instruments to conduct sampling inspections.
According to the rules, there are certain requirements for the fruits at sports events. At least they must be safe and healthy for foreign friends to eat.
When the inspection was over, the professional holding the results displayed on the instrument had his eyes slightly lit up and nodded secretly to Wang Li.
Wang Li was in a good mood after receiving the feedback and couldn't help but take a bite of a strawberry.
tasty!
Wang Li admired in his heart that even the most famous white strawberries in Country R were not as good as the ones he had. They were sweet but not greasy, with a strong and long-lasting flavor that left a lingering aftertaste in his mouth.
No wonder my cousin keeps talking about it every day!
Facing the expectant eyes of the surrounding villagers, Wang Li said without further ado:
"Village head, your village's strawberries meet the preliminary purchasing standards for the sports meeting. Let's start weighing and loading them onto the trucks!"
"Good! Good!" The village chief was delighted and helped with the villagers in moving the goods. Wang Li asked someone to register on the side.
The whole plain was bustling with activity, but Ye Zhen didn't like it very much. He said goodbye to his father and went back first.
Dad Ye had been busy with his own things for a long time, and was queuing up with Mom Ye and Grandpa Ye to weigh their things. He waved his hand when he heard this.
After returning home, Ye Zhen took out the spirit stone.
He practices in a place with abundant spiritual energy every day. The originally huge spiritual stone has shrunk a lot. He takes out the spiritual medicine and checks for the loss of spiritual energy.
Fortunately, the spiritual energy is still sufficient and the medicine is still effective.
In order to cure Ye Dong's foot, the Broken Limb Flower is the main medicine. The other auxiliary medicinal materials are not particularly precious, and they are not for treating monks, but they will not have much impact on the mortal body.
These medicines are more than enough!
Just in case, Ye Zhen closed the doors and windows, set up the formation, and sacrificed the Dan fire.
In the later stage of Qi training, for cultivators who follow the path of cultivating spirits, the spiritual energy in the Dan Palace is condensed, and then Dan fire can be drawn out.
Ye Zhen quickly changed his hand gestures, one after another, the Dan Palace began to burn, and the Dan fire was drawn out.
A tiny blue flame burned in the air, and it seemed to burn everything it touched. There were crackling sounds and the air was filled with terrifying and heart-pounding heat.
He took out the broken-limb flower, added some minor spiritual materials that Ye Zhen found in the deep pit, and used a special spiritual planting technique. His hand gestures changed continuously, so fast that his fingers became afterimages.
Several medicinal herbs melted little by little, condensed into colorful balls of light in the air, and the impurities were removed by the Dan fire, turning into a small ball of essence.
Ye Zhen carefully used his spiritual energy to blend the various medicinal materials bit by bit according to a specific order. This process was the most difficult and if one was not careful all the efforts would be wasted.
After slowly fusing the medicinal materials, Ye Zhen used his spiritual sense to carefully observe the changes in the fusion of the elixirs. Seeing that things were going smoothly, he breathed a sigh of relief.
The most critical step is completed, and the next step is to make the pill.
His gestures changed even faster, and sweat dripped from his forehead onto the ground and collar, leaving a little wet mark that was immediately evaporated by the high heat energy.
Ye Zhen remained calm and steadily supplied spiritual energy to the pill bit by bit. As time passed, when the spiritual energy in the pill mansion in his body was almost exhausted, round pills formed in the air.
A strange fragrance wafted from the air, a halo of elixir radiated outward, and silver elixir patterns appeared on it.
The elixir is ready!
A total of six light green pills were floating in the air. Ye Zhen waved his hand and put the pills into the prepared spirit stone bottle. He quickly cast the Spirit Sealing Technique on them so that the pills would not lose their efficacy.
After doing all this, Ye Zhen relaxed his tense nerves, calmed his mind, and slowly regulated his breathing.
After finishing meditation, Ye Ma's loud voice came from outside the door.
"Mei Zi, thanks to your family, we have earned so much money now. Next time, you must tell me what you decide to plant. I am determined to follow your family!" The villager said half-thankfully and half-tentatively.
"Haha, next time I have something new to plant, just come and see for yourself. There will be plenty of seedlings so you won't be left behind." Mother Ye laughed and did not forget to leave a message for her family.
If there are enough seedlings, they will be planted. If there are not enough, they will feel embarrassed. In addition to their own seedlings, Uncle Ye next door will also plant them.
"Mei Zi, will there be strawberry planting next year? Can we order the seeds first?" said a villager who planned to continue the work next year.
"Yes, we have them all. If you follow the planting method of leaves, you won't need seeds next year." Mother Ye continued to explain.
"Meizi, is Haizi at home? I have something to talk to him about."
"No, he went to the mountain to feed the pigs." Ye's mother explained.
"Then I'll come look for him later." Since the person was not at home, the village chief did not stay long. He left after saying something.
He still has to go back and count the money! Growing strawberries really makes money! The village chief was excited and proud.
See, he has good vision, otherwise it would be hard to say when the village would become rich.
After all the villagers left, Ye Ma was so thirsty from talking that she drank a large glass of water before she felt better.
Oh my god, it’s so tiring to deal with so many people!
He started foaming at the mouth after just two sips of water.
"Mom, what happened?" Ye Zhen asked as he walked out of the room.
"What else could it be? I made money!" Mother Ye said proudly. "You are the great hero of our village this time. Now that you have made money, everyone comes to ask if we can continue to plant next year." Mother Ye waved her hand and sat down on the chair.
Ye Zhen said he understood, but told Ye's mother that if anyone asked tomorrow, she should just cut the runners from the original strawberry plants and plant them next year. However, by the third year, they would need to cultivate the seedlings again.
After all, it is the first time to raise seedlings, and the traits are unstable. Ye Zhen cannot guarantee that the seedling varieties will always maintain their excellent genes.
However, Ye Zhen will not have to buy seedlings online for breeding in the future. He can just sow seeds directly from strawberries.
"By the way, mom, next time someone comes to ask about strawberries, just tell them that the strawberries from our village can't grow anywhere else. There's no suitable land like the one in our village elsewhere. This kind of strawberry is very picky about the land!"
After all, the strawberries that Ye Zhen cultivates need to be grown in a place with sufficient vitality and spiritual energy. Both are indispensable. There is no vitality or spiritual energy elsewhere that Ye Zhen gives every day.
The spiritual place is still in the big deep pit in Wuping Mountain. It’s impossible for people to go into the pit to farm, right?
You want Ye Zhen to take the spiritual energy to another place? What a joke. There are still a lot of land in my village that I can't take care of.
"I understand." Ye Ma nodded.
