Chapter 1105 Selling Strawberries

Xu Wanning handed over the notebook with both hands. After Teacher Jin read it over, she said: "Actually, there are also rapeseed and small green vegetables planted in the greenhouse, but they all died."

"I summed up my experience, The easier it is to grow, the less suitable it is for greenhouse cultivation. In addition..."

Xu Wanning told Teacher Jin all the results of his analysis.

Teacher Jin nodded repeatedly after hearing this: "Yes, yes. This progress of yours can help us avoid many detours."

"In addition to the good taste of cucumbers and tomatoes, Wan Ning, what do you think we can grow in the greenhouse in winter? Fruits and vegetables?”

Greenhouse planting was first proposed because of off-season planting.

We overcame some problems last year, but the fruits and vegetables grown were basically not edible.

Although summer is approaching, the success of cucumbers, tomatoes and eggplants still gives Teacher Jin hope.

If their greenhouses can grow fruits and vegetables out of season this winter, this epoch-making progress will definitely add to their resume.

Xu Wanning said truthfully: "I can't 100% guarantee that it will work now, but I will continue to work hard, and I will tell you any discoveries and results as soon as possible."

After class in the afternoon, Xu Wanning was not in a hurry to go home. Instead, he went to Uni-President Snack Shop first.

Yang Kai returned to the farm in the morning and came over with a cart of strawberries at noon.

Yang Rong and others didn't know what these strawberries were used for, so they stored them in the warehouse on the first floor.

Xu Wanning washed a bowl of strawberries and asked Yang Rong to deliver some to the boutique next door, while the rest were shared among them.

Looking at the red strawberries in the basin and exuding an attractive smell, they wanted to taste one.

But no one dared to take it.

Strawberries are already expensive, not to mention that these strawberries are so big and beautiful, so they must be even more expensive.

They are reluctant to eat.

Xu Wanning took a few pills and stuffed one into each person's mouth.

"Is it delicious?"

"It's delicious." " It

's so delicious!"

"This is the first time in my life that I've eaten such delicious strawberries. It's not sour at all!" "

This is the first time in my life that I've eaten such delicious strawberries. I ate strawberries once, and they tasted exactly as I imagined!"

After eating one, Xu Wanning asked everyone to eat again, and everyone took another strawberry. No matter what Xu Wanning said, no one was willing to take it.

"Wan Ning, are these strawberries going to be sold?"

"Yes. I want to sell a batch to test the water first. If the sales are good, the farm will be able to grow more strawberries."

Strawberries are delicate and difficult to grow. The environmental requirements are relatively high, but once you master the core technology of growing strawberries, it is easy to grow delicious strawberries.

Even for Xu Wanning, compared to apples, which require large orchards, the investment cost of strawberries is relatively small.

Not only the economic cost, but also the labor cost.

But Chinese people have always had a preconceived notion that strawberries are expensive.

Even in later generations, greenhouse cultivation technology became more and more sophisticated, greenhouse strawberries began to proliferate, and the price of strawberries has remained high.

Out-of-season strawberries in winter can sell for fifty or sixty yuan per pound. These are ordinary varieties. If they are new varieties like cream strawberries, the price will only be higher.

April and May are the seasons for eating strawberries, and strawberries are generally sold for about fifteen yuan.

For people in the 1980s, the word "strawberry" alone was enough to associate it with expensiveness.

"Wan Ning, how do we sell strawberries? How much do they cost per pound?"

There are college students nearby, and the prices are too expensive, and few people are willing to spend money to buy them.

But it was sold too cheap, and I didn’t think it was a good deal.

So what Xu Wanning wanted to do was to sell it one by one.

"Selling by piece? Selling a single strawberry by a single strawberry?"

"Yes." Xu Wanning said: "Strawberries are different in size. They are divided into three sizes: large, medium and small. A small one costs five cents, and a medium one costs eight cents. The big ones cost a dime each. "

It costs 5 cents to 10 cents to buy a strawberry. Although it is not cheap, most people choose to buy one to taste it, so that they know what a strawberry tastes like.

"But how to distinguish between large, medium and small?"

Xu Wanning took out a cardboard, drew three strawberries of different sizes on the cardboard, and cut out the pieces of paper with a knife.

"We put a strawberry basket and this cardboard at the door. Customers who want to buy take a strawberry from the basket and compare the three sizes on the cardboard. For example, this one, I think it should be medium-sized. I put it in the hole in the middle. If it can fall, it is a medium fruit. If it cannot fall, it is a large fruit. "

"Strawberries are delicate and will break if you are not careful, so be sure to tell everyone. Be clear. Once you choose, you will not be refunded or exchanged. If someone damages the strawberries intentionally, they must buy them for a dime each. "

It is not up to them whether they throw them away or eat them themselves. .

"Don't you need us to separate them in advance?"

Xu Wanning shook her head: "First of all, strawberries are delicate and can easily collide when touched. If they break, they will be difficult to store. Secondly, even if you divide them well, customers will be picky. What I bought is not a big fruit or a medium fruit. "

"In order to avoid conflicts and quarrels over this kind of thing and waste time, let's let the customers choose by themselves."

The size of the paper plate was not drawn by Xu Wanning randomly, but based on this batch. The size of the strawberry was drawn, and she had a clear conscience.

"Then when should we start selling?"

Xu Wanning raised her wrist and looked at the time. It was just half past five.

She was about to say she would try to sell something today when she heard someone calling the door outside.

Snack shops generally do not do business in the afternoon, so they will close after the Chinese food is sold out.

The door is also closed at this moment.

Yang Rong opened the door, looked at the seven or eight female classmates standing at the door, and said, "Sorry, our snack shop is closed in the afternoon. If you want to eat, you can wait until noon tomorrow."

"No, no, no, we are not here to eat. "It's like this .

We were shopping at the boutique next door and saw some shopkeepers eating strawberries. They looked really delicious, so we casually asked where we bought them. They said they should sell them here. "Yes."

Yang Rong said when she went over to deliver the strawberries, Xu Wanning brought them.

So Tang Ting and the others naturally thought that strawberries would be sold next door, so they warmed them up in advance.

Yang Rong said hurriedly: "Yes, we do sell strawberries here, and they were just picked and delivered, so they are fresh. Wait a moment, I will get the strawberries."
