Chapter 1103: Picking Strawberries
In fact, even if the baskets they were carrying were full, they could only hold more than one kilogram to less than two kilograms of strawberries.
There are at least hundreds of kilograms of strawberries in this greenhouse.
It’s just that the individual strawberries are relatively small, so they appear to be in large numbers.
The children experienced horse riding and picked strawberries by themselves. It was a great experience today.
Xu Wanning looked at the time, it was already past three o'clock, and simply took the children home.
As for the picked cucumbers and tomatoes, Xu Wanning asked Yang Kai to help her transport them to the No. 2 store.
Back in Beijing, Xu Wanning asked Lin An to send the children back to the army compound, and she went directly to the No. 2 store.
Aunt Xu Huajing saw her coming and rushed to greet her.
"A-Ning, you haven't been to No. 2 store for a while."
"I've been visiting Uni-President Snack Shop and Boutique during this time, so I've come here less often."
Although she didn't come, Xu Huajing manages the No. 2 store very well.
Even though it's not dinner time, there are still several tables of customers sitting in the store.
Xu Huajing took Xu Wanning to sit at the front desk and asked in a low voice: "Do you have any new dishes recently?"
"Do any customers think that the variety of dishes in our No. 2 store is too small?"
"Not really, I just think that our store There have been no new dishes for a long time, and it no longer has the characteristics to attract customers. "
Although the business of No. 2 store has been very good, and occasionally it can surpass Xujia Puzi Restaurant, but compared with the glory of the period when it first opened, Xu Huajing's business is still very good. It is inevitable that there will be some psychological gap.
"I understand, aunt. I'll go back and think about it carefully to see what improvements we can make in our No. 2 store."
As he was talking, Yang Kai rode a tricycle to the backyard of the No. 2 store.
"What is Yang Kai pulling? Red is red, green is green, the colors are quite nice."
"It's cucumbers and tomatoes, I plan to give them as gifts."
"Cucumbers and tomatoes? There's nothing unusual about these things. Right? "
Although it's not yet the ripe season for tomatoes, some vegetable markets in Beijing have already begun to sell them, but the prices are very expensive.
When vegetables are not available, many vegetables are even more expensive than meat.
Rare things are more valuable. This principle is universal no matter what era it is placed in.
Xu Wanning did not explain to Xu Huajing, but just pulled her to the backyard.
"Boss, are these cucumbers and tomatoes placed on the ground?"
"Put them in the warehouse on the right. I will divide them up later and deliver them to everyone."
There are more than 80 kilograms of cucumbers and 110 kilograms of tomatoes.
It sounds like a lot, but Xu Wanning has too many people to send to.
First of all, she had to keep some for herself, and she also wanted Mrs. Lin to have a taste.
There are also some gifts to the parents' home, the eldest uncle's home, and the second uncle's home. In addition, some should be given to the eldest sister-in-law's natal family, the second sister-in-law's natal family, and the Tao family.
In addition, she had to send it to Director Zhang, Boss Sun, Principal Xu, and the teachers of the research team.
Calculating it this way, these cucumbers and tomatoes are not even enough to share, so each family can only give a little less.
Xu Wanning took a cucumber and tomato, rinsed them on the faucet, and then gave them to Xu Huajing.
"Auntie, please try it first."
Xu Huajing took a bite of the cucumber first. "It looks good-looking and has enough water, but the taste is nothing special."
Xu Wanning took another cucumber from the kitchen and washed it. After it was clean, he handed it to Xu Huajing: "Auntie, would you like to try this again?"
Xu Huajing took a bite, and his face suddenly changed slightly, "Can I take back what I just said?"
I don't think there is anything delicious about eating this cucumber alone. But when compared with the cucumbers sold in the market, I think it is particularly delicious.
It was so delicious that Xu Huajing finished a cucumber as quickly as possible.
Because there was a precedent for cucumbers, Xu Huajing did not dare to underestimate this tomato.
But when she took a bite, she realized that the tomato had such a rich flavor.
"It is no exaggeration to say that this tomato is more delicious than apples. Aning, did you buy this from Yangcheng?"
She has never tasted such delicious tomatoes in Beijing.
Xu Wanning shook her head, "No. This was grown in the greenhouse of my breeding farm."
"What did you say? You grew this?"
"Yes." And the seeds were not improved by later generations, but were given by Teacher Jin. Hers.
If we use varieties that have been improved in later generations, it should...
probably won't taste that good either.
After all, what future generations pursue is "quantity", not quality.
The more quantity, the more money you can sell for it. As for the taste, does it taste good?
Capital doesn’t care about this!
As for those fruits and vegetables that still retain their own taste, they are basically sold to the really rich and powerful people. Ordinary people are definitely not willing to spend so much money to buy them.
Therefore, the top priority is still the technology of greenhouse cultivation.
"An Ning, An Ning, what surprises do you have that my aunt doesn't know about?"
"I also made progress through a little exploration."
Xu Wanning took the bag, divided the cucumbers and tomatoes into a dozen equal parts, and then Ask Yang Kai to help send her to the courtyard.
Before leaving, Xu Wanning warned: "When you go back in the evening, tell Lao Wang and the others to pick all the ripe strawberries tomorrow morning, and you can bring them to me directly to the Uni-President Snack Shop."
"No problem."
Yang Kai helped Xu Wanning move the things into the yard, hesitated for a while, and then asked: "Boss, is Li Lingling okay?"
"Her parents made a serious mistake, and she should still be in the Public Security Bureau. You If you are not in a hurry to go back, you can wait for her at the entrance of the Public Security Bureau and then take her back to the breeding farm. "
Otherwise, she would not be at ease if Li Lingling went back alone at night.
However, if Yang Kai is not here, her parents will be sent to the public security bureau and locked up. No one will cause trouble for Li Lingling, so she can go back to the snack shop.
Xu Wanning was about to tell Yang Kai not to bother anymore, when he heard Yang Kai say: "I know, I'm going to wait for her."
After jogging for a while, he turned back, smiled awkwardly, and asked: "Boss, which public security bureau is Li Lingling at?"
In the public security bureau, Li Lingling has already cooperated and completed the transcript.
Li Lingling had no idea when her parents came into contact with the criminal gang.
After all, for so many years, no matter what happened at home, she would habitually choose to hide it from her. Li Lingling had become accustomed to it over the years.
Now, if her parents don't want to tell her, she won't delve into it.
As long as I still have a place to stay, that's fine.
However, she learned from a police comrade that her parents planned to sell her to a cripple for a bride price of 200 yuan.
